North Korea will push for new rocket launch

April 16, 2012 14:15

In other news, North Korea says it will push for the launch of a new and bigger rocket as part of a five-year space programme despite last week's failed launch, a pro-North Korean newspaper said.

The North last week carried out a rocket test that ended in failure, disintegrating in mid-air soon after blast-off and plunging into the sea in a major embarrassment for the reclusive state. The launch drew international condemnation despite Pyongyang insisting it was intended to put a satellite into orbit for peaceful purposes.
