SEOUL: North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has received photographs of the White House, Pentagon and US aircraft carriers in the naval base of Norfolk, captured by its recently launched spy satellite, state media reported on Tuesday.
North Korea last week successfully launched its first satellite, which was designed to monitor US and South Korean military activities.
The photos were the latest images of the major target regions sent by the satellite, including the Seoul and US military bases.

The US and South Korea have strongly denounced the satellite launch as a violation of UN Security Council resolutions banning any use of ballistic technology.
South Korean officials have said the North’s satellite abilities could not be verified as it has not released the photos.
