North Korea has said an accident happened as it planned to send up its first space satellite, causing it to crash into the sea.
Pyongyang announced earlier it planned to launch a satellite by 11 June to monitor US military activities.
It now says it will attempt a second launch as soon as possible.
The incident sparked a false alarm in the South Korean capital Seoul, while in Japan a warning was issued to residents of Okinawa, in the south.
