North Korea’s keenly-watched rocket launch has failed, Pyongyang has confirmed.
According to BBC News, the rocket – seen by many as a banned test of long-range missile technology – was launched from north-west North Korea early on Friday.
The US, Japan and South Korea said it had flown only for a short time before breaking up and crashing into waters off the Korean Peninsula.
North Korea said its scientists were assessing what had caused the failure.
According to North Korea, the aim of the rocket was to launch a satellite into orbit – a move marking the 100th anniversary of the birth of national founder Kim Il-sung.
