The end of an agreement that is supposed to ease tensions

On Tuesday, Pyongyang announced that it had succeeded in placing a military spy satellite into orbit. South Korea said it was too early to say the satellite was operational. Experts say that placing a spy satellite in orbit would improve North Korea’s quest for intelligence, especially about its southern rival, by accessing critical data before a military conflict.

Placing this satellite in orbit led to the partial suspension by the South and North of the military agreement concluded five years ago to ease bilateral tensions. Senior diplomats from South Korea, Japan and the United States attended on Friday “We strongly condemn the launch as it has a destabilizing effect in the region.”The US State Department said in a statement.
