Pyongyang, North Korea (CNN) -- Defying warnings from the international community, North Korea launched a long-range rocket on Friday, but it appears to have broken apart shortly afterward, U.S. officials said.
Tokyo, which had threatened to shoot down the rocket if it appeared to be threatening its territory, had called for restraint. But Prime Minister Yoshihiko Noda said Thursday, "We are fully prepared to deal with any contingency," according to the news agency Kyodo.
Countries that include the United States and South Korea see the launch as a cover for a ballistic missile test. International leaders had urged North Korea to cancel the launch, but Pyongyang refused to back down, insisting the operation is for peaceful purposes.

Well.. You really should edit your post. It is not going to hit the US it is supposed to be orbiting to spy, but they said it "Broke" into pieces which I think that either it is still up there and Countries are planning on taking it down or the US already shot it down

yea but it's not heading to the US it crashed into sea

It's not a missile. it's a rocket. It's not dangerous to us. Just because something from North Korea is launched doesn't mean it's dangerous.

it's a rocket, and it went into broken pieces. -Seed
