SEOUL (Reuters) - North Korea's state television said a long-range rocket launch on Sunday, ordered by leader Kim Jong Un to put a satellite into space, was a "complete success". The satellite, Kwangmyongsong-4, is orbiting the earth every 94 minutes and the North would continue to launch satellites in future, an announcer said on the North's state television broadcast.
