President Yoon Suk Yeol's office said Sunday that it continues to closely monitor Pyongyang's activity in connection with a satellite-carrying space rocket launch.
"South Korea and the United States are continuing surveillance activity," a senior official said. "We will go ahead with the sharing of missile warning information between South Korea, the US, and Japan as planned."
The news comes after North Korea fired its first rocket on May 31, but it failed when the vehicle crashed in the Yellow Sea. North Korea had set a period between May 31 and June 11 as the window for launching the satellite.
