A North Korean rocket broke apart shortly after being launched from its base today, according to U.S., Japanese and South Korean officials.
Japan’s defense ministry said the rocket flew for just over a minute.
A South Korean defense ministry spokesman said, “The missile separated into several pieces and fell.”
The ministry said the rocket traveled about 70 miles into the air, then split into four pieces and fell. Major parts fell into the North Korean side of the sea and debris fell into the Gunsan Sea off the southwest coast of South Korea.
North Korea once again proves that its glorious principle self-reliance is the key the world domination. Anyone else see this coming?
