SEOUL -- A North Korea spy satellite that was launched Tuesday has entered orbit, South Korea defense officials said Wednesday, while analysts have said that Russia helped upgrade Pyongyang's launch capabilities.
The launch marked a milestone for North Korea's military at a time when the attention of the international community is focused elsewhere. While the U.S. is currently dealing with Russia, the Israel-Hamas conflict and China, Pyongyang has apparently exploited the opportunity to enhance its military technology.
