People watch a television broadcast showing a file image of a North Korean rocket launch at the Seoul Railway Station on August 24, 2023 in Seoul, South Korea. North Korea conducted a simulated "tactical nuclear attack" drill on Saturday that included two long-range cruise missiles, state media reported on Sunday, as leader Kim Jong Un inspected shipbuilding and munitions factories. The two cruise missiles carrying mock nuclear warheads were fired towards the West Sea of the peninsula and flew 1,500 kilometers (930 miles) at a preset altitude of 150 meters. A separate statement said Kim visited Pukjung Machine Complex, which produces marine engines, and a major munitions factory to stress the importance of strengthening Pyongyang's naval forces. North Korea has been stepping up its military deterrence against Washington and Seoul and has criticized last month's summit agreement between the two on improving military cooperations.

North Korea's first attempt at launching a military spy satellite resulted in failure on Wednesday, with South Korea's military picking up wreckage after the carrier rocket crashed into its western waters. North Korea's state media agency, the Korean Central News Agency, said that an "accident" occurred during the launch of a military reconnaissance satellite. North Korea's state media added that the failed launch was due to "low reliability and stability of the new-type engine system applied" to the carrier rocket and the "unstable character of the fuel used." South Korean officials added that they are in the process of recovering "what could be the wreckages from the purported 'space launch vehicle' fired by North Korea."
