In a rare move, Pyongyang promptly acknowledged the failure of its attempt, but said it would conduct another launch “as soon as possible,” adding more pressure on South Korea and its security partners — the US and Japan. | asianewsnetwork
North Korea said the launch vehicle lost propulsion due to an abnormal startup of the second-stage engine. Consequently, the launch vehicle crashed into the West Sea after separation of the first stage.
But the trajectory of the launch vehicle deviated from the flight path previously indicated by North Korea in its notification to the Japanese government. The launch vehicle disappeared from radar and did not reach the designated point as expected. South Korean military officials said that additional analysis is necessary to determine the causes of the failed launch during a closed-door briefing Wednesday morning. They refrained from confirming the credibility of North Korea’s state media report. The type of fuel or fuels used by North Korea remains uncertain.
Chang pointed out that it typically takes at least six months to thoroughly investigate all the fundamental causes of a failure, address the underlying issues and ensure a successful launch.
