On-point: Kim Jong-un at simulated nuclear counterattack drills why?

김정은, 첫 핵반격가상전술훈련 지도 그 속내는?

So North Korea conducting simulated nuclear counterattack drills and the leader Kim Jong-un guiding the drills for the first time.
Let's dissect the latest move with Jacco Zwetsloot.

Good morning.

1. What are the North's intentions behind the drills, and having Kim Jong-un present there?

2. Is the launch considered a threat? Does it violate UN Security Council resolutions?

3. The head of South Korea’s Joint Chiefs of Staff said Monday that North Korea is preparing for its second spy satellite launch but the launch is not imminent.
It’s been widely believed the launch would come around early to mid-April.
What may be the reasons for the delay?

4. Should we expect the second satellite to be more advanced than the first one, considering the North is presumed to have acquired space technology from Russia?

5. If the North claims the second launch as a success, what would that mean for the North and here on the Korean Peninsula?

Thank you so much for joining us this morning.
We appreciate it as always.

The second launch is a success.

I look forward to the third and fourth launches.
