Sirens sound across Seoul with warning of potential evacuation after North announces plan for its first military spy satellite
North Korea has launched what was described as a space launch vehicle, after announcing a plan to put its first military spy satellite into orbit.
Sirens were heard across Seoul early on Wednesday as the city issued a warning asking citizens to prepare for potential evacuation. However, the interior ministry later said the warning was sent in error, and the military confirmed the launch would have no impact on the capital.
