Shortly after North Korea announced plans to send its first space satellite into the air, foreign media reported that North Korea has launched a rocket.
In this regard, although Japan issued a warning to the people living in Okinawa, the Japanese authorities have stated that there is no risk of the rocket crashing into their territory. In addition, warnings have been issued for the residents of Seoul, the capital of South Korea, and this rocket broke up in the air. The South Korean security forces have stated that they are prepared in this regard because there is a possibility of breaking up or crashing after disappearing from the radar system.
