North Korea has carried out its first satellite launch attempt in seven years, with a Chollima-1 rocket failing to deploy the Malligyong-1 satellite on Wednesday. After lifting off from the Sohae Satellite Launching Ground at 6:27 AM Pyongyang Time (21:27 UTC on Tuesday), the rocket appears to have suffered an anomaly around the time of first stage separation and did not achieve its planned orbit. Debris from the launch fell into the sea off the coast of South Korea, where it has been recovered by South Korean forces.
