The launch of North Korea's first spy satellite was not successful.
The reclusive Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) regime attempted to launch the nation's first spy satellite at 6:37 a.m. local time on Wednesday (May 31) from the Sohae Satellite Launching Ground, prompting shelter warnings throughout South Korea, according to the BBC. But the Chollima-1 rocket carrying North Korea's Malligyong-1 satellite crashed into the sea west of the Korean Peninsula after reportedly suffering a propulsion failure during stage separation, according to the Associated Press.
