North Korea's second spy satellite launch fails

North Korea's second attempt to put a spy satellite into space has failed, three months after its first launch crashed into the sea.

The attempt on Thursday morning failed during the third stage of its flight, state media said.

For North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, a spy satellite is a coveted prize, as it would let him monitor incoming attacks and plot his own more accurately.
