SEOUL, South Korea — South Korea’s first rocket launch Tuesday failed to push a satellite into its orbit. The failure dealt a blow to Seoul’s quest to become a regional space power.
Also Tuesday, a South Korean newspaper reported that North Korea has invited top envoys of President Barack Obama for the first nuclear negotiations between the two countries under his presidency, but Washington quickly said it has no plans to send the envoys to Pyongyang. The North gave no immediate reaction to the rocket launch but has said it will watch to see whether the matter is referred to the U.N. Security Council.
