North Korea attempted to put its first military spy satellite into orbit on May 31, but the projectile and its payload crashed into the sea shortly after launch due to what Pyongyang said was a rocket failure. The wreckage was pulled from the sea bed at a depth of about 75 metres in waters about 200 kilometres southwest of Eocheong Island, it added.
Seoul has been working for the last two weeks to recover the wreckage of the space rocket, as the debris could help scientists gain insight into Pyongyang's ballistic missile and satellite surveillance programmes.Pyongyang has previously claimed its military spy satellite is necessary to counterbalance the growing US military presence in the region.
