The DPRK tried to launch the rocket, but it failed. It is reported by Reuters with reference to the South Korean military.
Pyongyang tried to launch a rocket from the City of Sinpo on the east coast of the country.
According to the US military, the launch was made at 11:21 local time (00:21 Moscow time). The rocket type is not yet defined at the moment, Reuters clarify.
The rocket was tried to launch the day after the military parade dedicated to the anniversary of the birth of the founder of the country of Kim Il In. It was during the parade that ballistic missiles were demonstrated.
The demonstration and launch of ballistic missiles take place against the backdrop of exacerbation of the relationship of Pyongyang and Washington due to the alleged nuclear tests in North Korea.
According to NBC, Washington consider the opportunity to deliver a preventive blow to the North Korean military facilities if Pyongyang decides to test. The DPRK said they were ready to answer “any provocation” by the United States.
