North Korea has activated radar for its planned launch of what the country claims as a communications satellite, signaling that the launch is imminent, South Korea's Yonhap news agency said Sunday, quoting an unnamed South Korean source.

Yonhap also said South Korea's presidential office convened a National Security Council meeting in a sign confirming the imminent launch. The presidential office earlier said the NSC will be convened only after an actual launch.

North Korea has announced that it would launch a satellite sometime between 11 a.m. and 4 p.m. from Saturday to Wednesday.

Not saying that because of ‘church’, but because the American news cycles are kinda slow on Sundays. No one cares too much.

We helped them get there by bombing their main power plant a long time ago. Let's hope they haven't been helped to return the favor.
