A South Korean news channel in a Seoul restuarant broadcasts North Korea related coverage after Pyongyang's firing of what it claims is a military spy satellite. North Korea's previous efforts to put a spy satellite into orbit in May and August both failed, and Seoul, Tokyo and Washington had repeatedly warned Pyongyang not to proceed with another launch, which would violate successive rounds of UN resolutions.

The video was published after the announcement of huge naval drills in the Atlantic, Arctic, Pacific and Mediterranean this month and February, at a time of heightened tensions with Western nations.
