It said the flights of the first and second stages of the rocket were normal, but the launch eventually failed due to an error in the emergency blasting system during the third-stage flight, according to the official Korean Central News Agency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The space agency said it would make a third launch attempt in October after studying what went wrong with Thursday\u2019s launch. The agency added that \u201cthe cause of the relevant accident is not a big issue in terms of the reliability of cascade engines and the system.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Earlier Thursday, South Korea\u2019s Joint Chiefs of Staff said in a statement that it detected the rocket flying above international waters off the Korean Peninsula\u2019s west coast after its liftoff at the North\u2019s northwestern Tongchang-ri area at 3:50 a.m. The site is where North Korea\u2019s main space launch center is located. The North made a failed launch of a spy satellite there in late May.<\/p>\n\n\n\t<aside class=\"smg-interstitial-link wp-block-smg-interstitial-link\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/c4isrnet\/space\/2023\/07\/05\/nkorea-satellite-wasnt-advanced-enough-to-spy-from-space-says-skorea\/\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__media\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/AP23186068249221.jpg.jpg?w=300\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__image wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__content\">\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"smg-interstitial-link__kicker\">Related<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"smg-interstitial-link__title\">NKorea satellite wasn\u2019t advanced enough to spy from space, says SKorea<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"smg-interstitial-link__excerpt\">The long-range rocket carrying the satellite failed soon after liftoff, setting back North Korea\u2019s pursuit of a space-based reconnaissance system.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/aside>\n\t\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">South Korea\u2019s military said it had bolstered its surveillance posture and was in close coordination with the United States.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On May 31, a North Korean rocket carrying a spy satellite plunged into the sea soon after liftoff, posing a setback to leader Kim Jong Un\u2019s push to establish a space-based surveillance system to better monitor the U.S. and South Korea. North Korea had since vowed to make a second attempt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After the first launch attempt, North Korea made an unusually quick admission of failure, saying its newly developed Chollima-1 rocket lost thrust between launch stages and crashed into the sea.

(Yonhap via AP, File)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">South Korea, the U.S. and others have still condemned the May launch for raising tensions and violating U.N. Security Council resolutions that banned the country from using ballistic missile technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thursday\u2019s launch came three days after the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.militarytimes.com\/news\/your-military\/2023\/08\/21\/north-korea-launches-cruise-missiles-as-us-south-korea-launch-drills\/\" target=\"_blank\">U.S. and South Korean militaries kicked off annual military drills<\/a> that North Korea calls an invasion rehearsal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">North Korea\u2019s official Korean Central News Agency said the 11-day U.S.-South Korean exercises are increasing the danger of a nuclear war on the Korean Peninsula. It said the current situation is compelling North Korea to take \u201coffensive, overwhelming\u201d steps, but didn\u2019t elaborate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">South Korea\u2019s spy agency told lawmakers last week it spotted signs that North Korean is preparing for the test-flights of intercontinental ballistic missiles and other provocative weapons. On Monday, KCNA said Kim had observed the test firings of strategic cruise missiles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Since the start of 2022, North Korea has test-fired around 100 missiles in a torrid run of military demonstrations. Along with the North\u2019s testing activity, the combined military U.S.-South Korea military exercises have intensified recently in a tit-for-tat cycle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">North Korea says its weapons testing is part of efforts to bolster its nuclear deterrent to counter increasing U.S.-led military threats. But many experts say North Korea aims to modernize its weapons arsenal to boost its leverage to wrest greater concessions from the U.S.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A spy satellite is among an array of high-tech weapons systems Kim has publicly vowed to acquire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After repeated failures, North Korea successfully put its first satellite into orbit in 2012, and the second one in 2016. North Korea said both are Earth observation satellites launched under its peaceful space development program, but many foreign experts believed they were developed to spy on its rivals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Observers say there has been no evidence that both satellites have ever transmitted imagery back to North Korea. But those satellite launches were still believed to have improved North Korea\u2019s long-range missile technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Since 2017, North Korea has performed a slew of intercontinental ballistic missile tests, demonstrating its potential ability to send missiles anywhere in the continental U.S. But experts say North Korea still has some technological hurdles to clear before obtaining functioning nuclear missiles, such as manufacturing warheads small enough to be topped on missiles and ensuring those warheads would withstand the severe conditions of atmospheric reentry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The U.N. Security Council imposed economic sanctions on North Korea over its satellite launches in previous years, seeing them as covers for long-range ballistic missile tests. But the U.N. council failed to adopt further sanctions over the North\u2019s recent series of missile launches because permanent veto-wielding members Russia and China oppose them, underscoring a divide that has deepened over <a href=\"https:\/\/www.militarytimes.com\/flashpoints\/ukraine\/\" target=\"_blank\">Russia\u2019s war on
