The North’s state news agency said Thursday’s launch ended in failure due to an error during the rocket’s three-stage flight.
It cited the country’s aerospace agency as saying North Korea would make a third attempt in October after finding out the cause of the failure.
The announcement followed a statement by the South Korean military that said North Korea had launched a long-range rocket.
