FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda The South Korean Defense Ministry says a long-range North-Korean rocket took off at 7:39 am local time on Wednesday. However, the launch has been confirmed to have failed.
The North American Aerospace Defend Command (NORAD) says the first stage of the rocket fell into the sea, while the other two stages failed. North Korean officials were quoted by AP as saying they would make an announcement on the launch “soon.”
The South Korean army said the rocket debris crashed some 200 kilometers (125 miles) off the western coast of South Korea, Reuters reports.
Japanese Defense Minister Naiki Tanaka said the rocket appears to have flown for one minute before collapsing into the Yellow Sea. The Japanese government is holding an emergency security meeting, and is slated to announce further measures following the meeting.
Western governments considered North Korea’s plan to launch the Unha-3 rocket to be a disguised long-range ballistic missile test, while Pyongyang maintained that it was sending a weather satellite into space. The United States, Japan, Britain and others said the launch would constitute a provocation and would violate UN Security Council resolutions banning North Korea from developing its missile and rocket programs.
The UN Security Council will meet to discuss the launch, with a possible response coming Friday, Reuters reports.
The launch was scheduled to coincide with the centennial of the birthday of North Korea’s founder, Kim Il-sung.
