North Korea said Thursday the country's military spy satellite has taken photos of U.S. military facilities in San Diego and Japan, as well as the Suez Canal in Egypt.
Leader Kim Jong-un viewed the satellite photos taken Wednesday when he received an operations report from the Pyongyang General Control Center of the National Aerospace Technology Administration, according to the official Korean Central News Agency (KCNA).

North Korea launched the spy satellite Malligyong-1 on a new type of Chollima-1 rocket last week after two failed attempts in May and August, respectively. The country vowed to launch several more satellites within a short span of time.
North Korea has claimed the spy satellite also took photos of the White House, the Pentagon and major military facilities in South Korea and the U.S. territories of Guam and Hawaii. But the North has not released related satellite photos. (Yonhap)
