North Korea's Spy Satellite Launch Fails, Rocket Plunges Into Sea

North Korea’s first spy satellite launch has ended in failure after its second stage malfunctioned, sending the projectile plunging into the sea, the country’s state media has said, with the regime vowing to conduct another launch soon. The launch sparked emergency warnings on the southern Japanese island of Okinawa and in the South Korean capital Seoul, where the city briefly issued an evacuation warning in error. Both alerts were later lifted. The new Chollima-1 satellite launch rocket failed due to instability in the engine and fuel system, the official KCNA news agency said, adding that officials were working to verify the “grave defects” that caused the rocket to malfunction. #shorts #northkorea #pyongyang #kimjungun #short #southkorea #japan n18oc_world n18oc_crux CRUX is your daily video news guide to the big events that are shaping our world.
