South Korea successfully launches its homegrown Nuri rocket en route to placing working satellites into orbit, which the country hailed as a key step forward for the country's burgeoning space programme. The three-stage rocket, more than 47 metres (155 feet) long and weighing 200 tonnes, soars into the sky from the Naro Space Center in South Korea's southern coastal region.
As many as 10 missiles of various types had been fired from North Korea's east and west coasts, Seoul authorities said.
South Korea has launched its first domestically developed space rocket but failed to put its dummy payload into orbit, a setback in the country's attempts to join the ranks of advanced space-faring nations.
