North Korea’s spy satellite crashes into sea

North Korea launched a military spy satellite on Wednesday but it crashed into the sea due to an ‘accident’ during the flight. The official media of the country has given information about this. Currently, there is no North Korean satellite in space. Supreme Leader Kim Jong Un had given top priority to the military spy satellite and was personally overseeing the preparations for its launch. While South Korea had informed about the launch of ‘Space Launch Vehicle’ from its neighboring country, Japan had activated its missile alert warning system.

“North Korean space authorities launched a military spy satellite Malligyong-1 on a new type of carrier rocket Chollima-1 from the Sohae Satellite Launching Ground at 6:27 a.m. on May 31,” North Korean state news agency KCNA reported. “But the rocket crashed into the sea after losing thrust due to abnormal start of the second stage engine,” the agency said.
