The Democratic People's Republic of Korea launched an experimental communications satellite aboard a Taepodong-2 rocket from a launchpad at Musudan-ri, North Korea, formally know as the Taepo-dong missile launch facility on Sunday.
Analysts have suggested that the satellite failed to reach orbit.
The rockets first stage fell in waters off of west coast of Japan, and the second plunged into the Pacific Ocean 3,200km East from the launch site.
North Korea had announced last month the launch would take place sometime in early April.
