US, South Korea condemn North Korea launch that ends in mid-air fireball

North Korea’s attempt to launch the Malligyong-1-1 reconnaissance satellite ended in a mid-air explosion on Monday night, attributed to issues with a newly developed liquid oxygen and oil engine.

The failed launch, which occurred hours after being criticized by Seoul and Tokyo, was captured on film by Japanese broadcaster NHK, showing a flaming projectile in the night sky that subsequently exploded.

North Korea had informed Japan of the planned launch earlier on Monday, following a successful satellite launch in November and two failed attempts last year.

Despite being barred by multiple UN resolutions from tests using ballistic technology, North Korea continues its efforts, which overlap significantly with ballistic missile development.

Seoul’s joint chiefs of staff reported detecting the satellite’s trajectory from the Tongchang-ri area in North Pyongan province at 22:44 local time on Monday, the Telegraph reported.
