N. Korean leader calls for more powerful rockets
None
North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has called for the development of more powerful rockets after last week's successful launch of a satellite into space.
The North's official media said Saturday that Kim made the call at a banquet for rocket scientists Friday in Pyongyang. Kim had already called for sending more scientific satellites into space on the day of the launch. But his speech on Friday marks the first time he is explicitly calling for the advancement of his country's long-range rocket program. (AP)
