Why is North Korea saying it's watching the White House?
North Korea has proclaimed that it's monitoring the White House through its new reconnaissance satellite. The regime asserts that the satellite is operational, but Western nations express skepticism. Kim Jong Un, the North Korean leader, has been exulting over his new surveillance apparatus and has been eagerly disseminating the alleged findings.
State media reports on Tuesday boasted a list of targets that North Korea claims to have observed: the White House, the Pentagon, and air force bases along the US north-east coast and in its Pacific territory of Guam. Additionally, Pyongyang listed South Korean military targets and its port city of Busan. Surprisingly, Rome was also mentioned. However, despite the seemingly impressive scope, the situation may not be as substantial as it appears.
A US military official responded to the picture reports on Tuesday, stating that there are ample images of the Pentagon and the White House available online. In the digital age, anyone can view the White House using Google Earth and internet livestreams. The BBC tested this - a live cam of the White House was the first result on YouTube. This raises questions about Kim Jong Un's motives. Why is he emphasizing this and does he actually derive any useful information?
