The carrier rocket was launched from the Sohe Cosmodrome. The flight of the first and second stages of the new launch vehicle proceeded normally. However, during the flight of the third stage an emergency situation occurred, TASS reports citing the agency. This is an error in the emergency detonation system.
The next time North Korea will try to put a satellite into orbit will be in October.
Recall that Pyongyang previously notified its intention to launch an artificial satellite into low Earth orbit between August 24 and 31. Three areas were identified in the southwestern part of the Yellow Sea and in the eastern Philippines, where it is recommended to refrain from sailing during this period due to the possible fall of the upper stages of the launch vehicle.
