Writes about it

Yonhap.

The South Korean military explains that it was a failed launch.

According to the publication, the DPRK confirmed the failed attempt, saying that its new missile "Chollima-1" with a military reconnaissance satellite "Malligyong-1" fell into the sea due to "abnormal launch of the engine of the second stage", according to official information.

The Korea Central News Agency (

KCNA) added that there will be a second launch. It is planned to be implemented as soon as possible.

The Joint Chiefs of Staff of the Armed Forces of Seoul, South Korea, (JCS) said it detected the launch on the west coast of the North at 6:29 a.m. The projectile fell into the water about 200 kilometers west of the southwestern island of Eocheon after flying over the waters.

NATO's response

NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg strongly condemned North Korea's launch of a military satellite and called it a flagrant violation of numerous United Nations Security Council resolutions.

"I strongly condemn the DPRK's attempt to launch a military satellite using ballistic missile technology. This increases tensions and poses serious security risks in the region and beyond," Stoltenberg said, calling on the DPRK to "stop these provocative actions and return to dialogue."
