North Korea's attempted launch of a military monitoring space satellite has failed on Wednesday.
The reclusive Communist nation' first space satellite crashed into the sea due to technical error of the second stage of the rocket, according to Korean Central News Agency (KCNA).
"The new satellite vehicle rocket, Chollima-1, crashed into the West Sea as it lost propulsion due to an abnormal startup of the engine on the 2nd stage after the 1st stage was separated during normal flight," the state-run news agency said.
