North Korea tells Japan it will launch spy satellite in days

North Korea may attempt a third spy satellite launch as early as midnight on Wednesday, Japanese media reported.

Tokyo said Pyongyang has notified them of a nine-day window for the launch, which closes at 23:59 local time (14:59 GMT) on 30 November.

Japan will work with South Korea to "strongly urge" the North not to proceed with the launch, which they said would violate UN resolutions.
