North Korea says it will launch three new spy satellites in 2024

North Korea plans to launch three more spy satellites next year as part of efforts to ramp up its military, the country's state media has said.

Last month Pyongyang put a spy satellite into space - and claims it has since photographed major US and South Korean military sites.

Setting out his aims for 2024, Kim Jong Un also said his dealings with South Korea would see "fundamental change".

And he said he had no option but to press ahead with his nuclear ambitions.

 According to the report, Kim Jong Un said the country in 2024 will lay a foundation for producing nuclear weapons in an increasingly large quantity in the future. He said contemporary warfighting also requires production of all kinds of drones and electronic warfare systems.

The North Korean leader called for a "second revolution in shipbuilding" and building a bigger fleet of submarines and surface warships.
