North Korean leader Kim Jong-un received a series of high-value photos such as the White House, the Pentagon, to the US aircraft carrier, from a spy satellite that was successfully launched last week, state media reported Tuesday.

North Korea announced on Tuesday last week that the country's first spy satellite successfully orbited, sparking international condemnation that it violated UN resolutions regarding the ban on the use of technology that could be applied to ballistic missile programs.

Citing KCNA November 28, Leader Kim received satellite photos from Rome, Italy on November 25 and Anderson Air Force Base in Guam, Pacific on November 27.

He also received detailed satellite photos from the Norfolk Naval Base, Newport Shipyard, and Virginia airport, USA, which were also taken on November 27.

Not only that, but Leader Kim also received photos from the White House and the Pentagon (US Defense Department) on the same date.

Next, he also spotted four US Navy nuclear aircraft carriers and a British aircraft carrier at the Norflok Naval Base and the Newport Shipyard.

Expressing great satisfaction with the successful preparation for the operation of a reconnaissance satellite called "Malligyong-1" before the start of its official mission, he once again appreciated NATA on behalf of the Party Central Committee.

It is known, the satellite is planned to officially start operating on December 1, as quoted by Kyodo News.

Separately, Seoul officials said North Korea's satellite capabilities could not be verified, as they had not released the photos.

Previously, Leader Kim said ownership of reconnaissance satellites was a manifestation of the right to self-defense, underscoring that the DPRK armed forces should not give up a bit or stop, even for a moment.
