Daily on Defense 🇺🇸 — North Korea spy satellite launch fails spectacularly as SecDef Austin arrives in region
SPY SATELLITE LAUNCH FIZZLES: After a warning from Pyongyang that a “space mission” was imminent and a subsequent launch of a multi-stage missile that triggered air raid alerts and sirens in Japan and South Korea, North Korea’s attempt to put its first spy satellite into orbit ended with an unceremonious crash into the sea.
US: ‘A BRAZEN VIOLATION’: The White House was quick to condemn the launch, believed to be testing ballistic missile technology with the potential to reach all of the continental U.S., as “a brazen violation of multiple UN Security Council resolutions,” that “raises tensions, and risks destabilizing the security situation in the region and beyond.”
Today, Austin is in Tokyo meeting with Japanese Defense Minister Yasukazu Hamada and has a joint press conference scheduled with Hamada at 9:45 p.m. Washington time, which will be livestreamed on the Pentagon’s website. Tensions between the U.S. and China remain high, as evidenced by the latest incident in which a Chinese J-16 fighter jet crossed directly in front of a U.S. RC-135 reconnaissance aircraft flying in international airspace over the South China Sea, creating a turbulent wake that shook the American plane.

Before the deal was announced, there was bipartisan agreement in the House and Senate Armed Services Committees that the Biden proposal would need a substantial plus-up. The debt deal, if passed in its current form, would kill that option. The deal faces fierce opposition from both the far-right and far-left wings of both parties. Some liberal Democrats think Biden gave away too much, while some conservative Republicans say the deal falls far short of what McCarthy promised.
On Friday, Blinken meets in Finland with the leaders of the newest NATO member, Prime Minister Sanna Marin and Foreign Minister Pekka Haavisto. He’s also scheduled to deliver a speech in which he will call Russia’s aggression against Ukraine “a strategic failure” and promise the U.S. will continue to support Ukraine’s “defense of its territory, sovereignty, and democracy in pursuit of a just and durable peace,” according to the State Department.
Russia claimed to have shot down or downed the drones with electronic warfare, but images on social media showed minor damage to an apartment building. Ukraine denied any “direct” responsibility for the attack. Washington Examiner: Gaetz says McCarthy's collaboration with Democrats on debt could trigger motion to vacate
