"We are conducting a search operation to retrieve the fallen objects," a defense ministry official said at a news briefing, adding the launch was a test of a ballistic missile. http://www.reuters.com/article/2012/04/13/...E83C03C20120413

South Korea's defence ministry says the rocket was launched at 7.39am (0839 AEST) on Friday, but failed shortly after. 'A few minutes after the launch, the rocket disintegrated into several pieces and lost its altitude,' defence ministry spokesman Kim Min-Seok told journalists. North Korea is expected to comment around 9am (1000 AEST). North Korea has said the rocket would place a satellite in orbit for peaceful research purposes, but Western critics consider the launch to be a thinly veiled ballistic missile test, banned by United Nations resolutions. The UN Security Council will meet in emergency session on Friday to 'to decide its next step' following the launch, a UN diplomat said. Japan's defence minister said that North Korea had launched a 'flying object' that fell into the ocean after a short flight. 'We have the information some sort of flying object had been launched from North Korea' around 7.40am, Defence Minister Naoki Tanaka told reporters. 'The flying object is believed to have flown for more than one minute and fallen into the ocean. This does not affect our country's territory at all.' Immediately after the launch, South Korea issued an order urging residents near the inter-Korean border to seek shelter to protect themselves from any debris that might fall from the rocket, Yonhap newswire said. North Korea says its rocket launch is not a banned missile test and that it has every right to send the satellite up, to coincide with Sunday's centenary of the birth of its founding leader Kim Il-Sung. The 30-metre (100-foot) Unha-3 (Galaxy-3) rocket had been positioned at a newly built space centre on the country's northwestern Yellow Sea coast. North Korea has invited up to 200 foreign journalists to Pyongyang for the launch and the weekend commemorations, the largest number of overseas media ever welcomed in to the reclusive state. The reclusive nation is in the midst of cementing a power transition between late leader Kim Jong-Il who died last December and his untested son Kim Jong-Un who is aged in his late 20s. US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton had earlier warned North Korea of UN Security Council action if it pressed ahead with the launch. 'If Pyongyang goes forward (with the launch) we will all be back in the Security Council to take further action,' Clinton told reporters after consulting with her counterparts from the Group of Eight industrial nations. 'There is no doubt that this (launch) would use ballistic missile technology,' she said, urging Pyongyang to refrain from 'pursuing a cycle of provocation'. Her comments were followed by an unusually strongly worded statement issued by foreign ministers of the Group of Eight which 'demanded' that North Korea abandon the launch. SOURCE

Within minutes of the early morning launch, the U.S. and South Korea declared it a failure. North Korea acknowledged that hours later in an announcement broadcast on state TV, saying the satellite had failed to enter into orbit. http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-202_162-574135...rch-for-debris/

The isolated North, using the launch to celebrate the 100th birthday of the dead founding president Kim Il-sung and to mark the rise to power of his grandson Kim Jong-un, is now widely expected to press ahead with its third nuclear test to show its military strength. "The possibility of an additional long-range rocket launch or a nuclear test, as well as a military provocation to strengthen internal solidarity is very high," a senior South Korean defense ministry official told a parliamentary hearing. The two Koreas are divided by the world's most militarized border and remain technically at war after an armistice ended the Korean War in 1953. The United States and Japan said the rocket, which they claimed was a disguised missile test and the North said was to put a satellite into orbit, crashed into the sea after travelling a much shorter distance than a previous North Korean launch. Its failure raises questions over the impoverished North's reclusive leadership which has one of the world's largest standing armies but cannot feed its people without outside aid, largely from its only powerful backer, China. "(There is) no question that the failed launch turns speculation toward the ramifications for the leadership in Pyongyang: a fireworks display gone bad on the biggest day of the year," said Scott Snyder of the Council on Foreign Relations.

Did you guys see when US was just starting to launch rockets? a lot of trial and error. It's scary that they are launching rockets albeit not successful they will eventually going to get it and what are we going to do when they finally perfected this technology? CALL UNCLE SAM.. sigh... WE DON'T EVEN have a rocket program.
