Yonhap News Summary

South Korea successfully deployed five satellites for its first domestically launched microsatellite constellation during the fifth flight of its homegrown Nuri rocket on Wednesday. The 200-ton Nuri blasted off from the Naro Space Center in Goheung, about 400 kilometers south of Seoul. Meanwhile, North Korea appears to be taken aback by South Korea's investigation results blaming Pyongyang for a recent mine blast near the inter-Korean border and its subsequent mine-clearing operation in the area.

An appellate court also overturned a lower court ruling, acquitting former President Yoon Suk Yeol of charges related to receiving free opinion polls ahead of the 2022 presidential election.
