Last week, North Korea announced that it would launch a satellite into space later this month. Today, the North Koreans are suggesting that launch might be delayed “for some reasons.”

“As announced, we are making preparations for the launch of the second version of Kwangmyongsong-3, a scientific and technological satellite, at the final stage. Our scientists and technicians, however, are now seriously examining the issue of readjusting the launching time of the satellite for some reasons,” says a spokesman for the Korean Committee of Space Technology.
