North Korean launch fails
Posted: Sun, Jun 2, 2024, 10:12 AM ET (1412 GMT)
A North Korean rocket carrying a reconnaissance satellite exploded after launch Monday. The rocket lifted off at about 9:44 am EDT (1344 GMT) from North Korean's Sohae Satellite Launching Ground, but the rocket appeared to explode in flight. North Korea's official news service confirmed the failure, blaming it on a new engine that uses liquid oxygen and kerosene propellants. The rocket was carrying Malligyong-1-1, a reconnaissance satellite. North Korea's Chollima-1 rocket suffered two launch failures last year before placing a spy satellite into orbit last November, but this appears to be a different, or at least modified, rocket. Japan, South Korea and the United States condemned the launch for violating U.N. Security Council resolutions regarding ballistic missile technology development.
