To my knowledge:
-Jielong-3 Y6 is still at least a few weeks away from launch, although there may be rehearsals.
-A missile test is planned with NOTAMs in inner mongolia in the upcoming days (June 30th), I posted about it in the suborbital section.
-On north korean side, there are early signs of a launch campaign of a Chollima or Kerolox-Chollima at the Sohae launch site, but the timeframe is uncertain and it may be months before a launch.

“江苏地质号”卫星在长春出征

"Jiangsu Geology" satellite sets out in Changchun

The "Jiangsu Geology" satellite ("Jilin-1" wide-band 02B07 satellite) is a wide-band, high-resolution optical remote sensing satellite jointly developed by Changguang Satellite and Jiangsu Provincial Geological Bureau. It aims to significantly improve the satellite image coverage and high-precision monitoring capabilities of Jiangsu Province, and realize the precision upgrade of mineral resource exploration and the refined management of national space ecology.

As the lightest ultra-wide-band sub-meter optical remote sensing satellite in the world, the "Jilin-1" wide-band 02B series satellite can provide users with high-definition satellite image products with a 150km width and 0.5m resolution. It has the characteristics of batch production, wide bandwidth, high resolution, and high-speed data transmission.

The satellite will be launched at an appropriate time in the waters near the Yellow Sea in the near future. After the successful launch, it will further expand the wide-band, high-resolution remote sensing information resources of the "Jilin-1" constellation, and can provide more abundant remote sensing data and product services for the fields of land and resources survey, smart city, and agricultural and forestry development.

The Jiangsu Dizhi (Jilin-1 Kuanfu02B07) 江苏地质号（吉林一号宽幅02B07）will be launched by Jielong-3 from Yellow Sea.
