While the North Korean state media reported that the missile had launched a satellite into space, broadcasting "immortal revolutionary paeans" to the heavens, both Korean and U.S. monitors said that the missile had failed to release anything into orbit. "Stage one of the missile fell into the Sea of Japan/East Sea," reads an official report from the United States Northern Command. "The remaining stages along with the payload itself landed in the Pacific Ocean...
