North Korea warned the world that any actions taken against its recently deployed spy satellite could be considered a declaration of war.

The country, officially known as the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, released a statement early Saturday urging the world not to take action against the space satellite it reportedly launched last month after two failed attempts. The satellite has reportedly been used to photograph the White House, according to Korean news sources.

"Any attack on space asset of DPRK will be deemed a declaration of war against it," North Korea's defense ministry said in a statement, according to the state-run Korean Central News Agency.

The North Korean spokesperson noted that if the United States military had an issue with the satellite and deemed it a military threat, North Korea would turn its ire toward U.S. satellites.

"If the reconnaissance satellite of the DPRK is regarded by the U.S. as a 'military threat' that must be gotten rid of, countless spy satellites of the U.S. flying above the Korean peninsula region every day, exclusively tasked with monitoring the major strategic spots of the DPRK, should be deemed the primary targets to be destroyed by the armed forces of the DPRK," they said.

"In case the U.S. tries to violate the legitimate territory of a sovereign state by weaponizing the latest technologies illegally and unjustly, the DPRK will consider taking responsive action measures for self-defense to undermine or destroy the viability of the U.S. spy satellites by exercising its legitimate rights vested by international and domestic laws," they added.

The Biden administration strongly condemned the satellite's launch at the time it was reported, arguing that it violated United Nations Security Council resolutions due to the use of ballistic missile technology, a technology that North Korea is barred from using.

"The president and his national security team are assessing the situation in close coordination with our allies and partners," the Biden administration said in a statement at the time.

"We urge all countries to condemn this launch and call on [North Korea] to come to the table for serious negotiations."
