Amid sanctions threats, North Korea sends rocket to space

AFP

North Korea launched a long-range rocket on Sunday, February 7, violating UN resolutions and doubling down against an international community already determined to punish Pyongyang for a nuclear test last month.

There was no immediate confirmation that the final stage of the satellite-bearing rocket had successfully reached orbit, and an unconfirmed report from South Korea’s Yonhap news agency suggested the second stage may have malfunctioned.

More details from Agence France-Presse.
