North Korea Launches Rocket, South Says Disintegrates

North Korea today launched a long-range rocket that appears to have disintegrated soon after blastoff and fallen into the ocean, South Korean and Japanese authorities said.

South Korea’s defence ministry said the rocket was launched at 07:39 am (0409 IST).

“It seems that the rocket has failed,” ministry spokesman Kim Min-Seok told journalists.

“A few minutes after the launch, the rocket disintegrated into several pieces and lost its altitude,” he said, adding US and South Korean officials were studying the trajectory.
