North Korea continues to advance its military capabilities, undeterred by past failures. Recent satellite imagery has revealed the completion of a new maritime pier at the Sohae Satellite Launching Station, a key facility for rocket and spy satellite tests. This new infrastructure will reportedly allow for the transport of larger rocket components, potentially enabling longer-range launches. This development follows Pyongyang's failed spy satellite launch in May 2024. South Korea and its allies, including Trump's US and Japan, have been increasingly concerned by these advancements and by North Korea's growing cooperation with Russia. Seoul has accused Moscow of providing assistance to Pyongyang's satellite programme in exchange for North Korean munitions and other military support for Russia's operations in Ukraine.
