South Korea and Japan confirm surprise early lift-off as nations line up to condemn breach of ballistic missile ban
North Korea launched a long-range rocket on Wednesday morning, defying international pressure to abandon what many see as a test of its ballistic missile capability and risking fresh sanctions.
Reports said the three-stage Unha rocket appeared to have followed its expected trajectory. Japan said the first stage had splashed down in the Yellow Sea west of South Korea and the second landed in the sea east of the Philippines.
North Korea's state news agency, the KCNA, said the country had successfully launched a rocket carrying a satellite. There was no immediate independent confirmation that a satellite had made it into orbit.
