Seoul: Following a meeting of their defence chiefs on Saturday in Singapore, the US, Japan, and South Korea said in a statement that they planned to share North Korean missile warning data by the end of 2023.

According to the statement, the three parties "recognised trilateral efforts to activate a data sharing mechanism to exchange real-time missile warning data before the end of the year in order to improve each country's ability to detect and assess missiles launched" by North Korea.

The declaration came after a failed North Korean attempt to launch a spy satellite on Wednesday, which ended in a rocket failure and a satellite crash into the ocean.

The military of South Korea claimed to have found and saved some of the alleged debris.

The launch was condemned by Seoul, Tokyo, and Washington as a violation of a number of UN resolutions prohibiting Pyongyang from conducting any tests involving ballistic missile technology.
