South Korea salvages part of North Korea's failed rocket launch.
South Korea has recovered part of a rocket used in North Korea's failed attempt to launch its first military satellite last month. The debris was salvaged on Thursday evening, and the military is continuing to search for additional objects from what the North claimed was a space launch vehicle. The salvaged object will be thoroughly analysed by expert organisations, including the Agency for Defense Development. Pyongyang said it was exercising its right to space development to counter what it described as U.S. "aggression" and vowed to stage another launch soon.
