After decades of satellite surveillance by foreign governments and analysts, North Korea has sent its first spy satellite on a global orbit with a message to the world: we can watch you too.
In unrelated news, Google Maps site traffic from North Korea sees odd spike.
Gmap data is dated around sensitive sites and they have to request DoD clearance to update that type of sat imagery, and even then objects can be blurred or even photoshopped by the DoD before google is allowed to post the update, and by then any intel even unedited is OBE. It makes sense that a country would want their own, up-to-date system.
