(Archyde.com) – South Korea’s military said on Wednesday that a Chinese warship was salvaging the waters where a North Korean rocket failed to launch last month.

According to the South Korean military, the rocket landed near Ocheondo, off the western coast of South Korea. The South Korean military is conducting its own search for the rocket wreckage and has withdrawn some of the wreckage.

The South Korean military said the rocket landed in the sea where China and South Korea’s Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) meet.

A spokesman for the South Korean Joint Chiefs of Staff said at a regular press conference on the 12th, “The Chinese warship is currently recovering at a point 200 kilometers west of Qingdao.” “There was no action,” he said.

North Korea launched its first spy satellite on the 31st of last month, but it failed. North Korea has said it will launch another satellite soon.
