North Korea's second attempt to launch a military Spy Satellite into orbit has failed, according to state media. The rocket was launched in a southern direction, and South Korea's military detected it flying above international waters off the Korean Peninsula's west coast. This comes after North Korea's first launch in May also failed. The country has announced plans for a third attempt in October. Japan issued an evacuation order for the Okinawa area, but later lifted it. The launch comes shortly after the US and South Korea began annual military drills, which North Korea sees as a threat.
