North Korea says its attempt to launch a military reconnaissance satellite has failed, according to state-run news agency
North Korea’s attempt to launch a military reconnaissance satellite failed Wednesday when the second stage of the rocket failed, state-run Korean Central News Agency said, adding that Pyongyang planned to carry out a second launch as soon as possible. “The new satellite vehicle rocket, Chollima-1, crashed into the West Sea as it lost propulsion due to an abnormal startup of the engine on the 2nd stage after the 1st stage was separated during normal flight,” KCNA said.
Earlier, South Korea’s military said Pyongyang fired a “space projectile,” triggering emergency alerts in Seoul and Japan, weeks after North Korean leader Kim Jong Un ordered officials to prepare to launch the country’s first military reconnaissance satellite. South Korea’s Joint Chiefs of Staff said the launch occurred around 6:29 a.m.
