Seoul: North Korea has developed advanced technologies to take images from space using a spy satellite, the powerful sister of leader Kim Jong-un insisted, after experts mocked black-and-white images supposedly taken from space in a weekend launch.

Kim Yo-jong’s defence of North Korea’s satellite capabilities comes after the isolated country said it conducted an “important final-stage” test for the development of a reconnaissance satellite.
