The launch of a North Korean spy satellite generates new tensions: Pyongyang is now moving troops to the border.
Tokyo/Pyongyang. The alleged first North Korean spy satellite in space has deadly consequences for security in East Asia. The launch is said to have been successful last week after two failed attempts; the new launch vehicle called Chŏllima-1, named after a mystical flying horse, apparently worked perfectly.
However, it cannot be clearly proven whether there really is a North Korean satellite floating in space or just a dummy: so far there is only the official propaganda claim that dictator Kim Jong-un saw photographs of US military bases in island of Guam.
