SEOUL -- North Korea acknowledged on Wednesday its failure to launch a military reconnaissance satellite, an attempt that U.S. officials called a "brazen violation" of U.N. resolutions.

The Korean Central News Agency reported that a second launch attempt will be made as soon as possible.

The report noted the satellite crashed into the West Sea as it lost its thrust due to an abnormality in the start of the two-stage mover after the first stage was separated during a normal flight.

The launch failed in the first of three stages, essentially blowing up in the air, a senior U.S. official told ABC News.

President Joe Biden and his national security team are assessing the launch in close coordination with allies and partners, according to National Security Council spokesperson Adam Hodge.

The launch used ballistic missile technology, "which is a brazen violation of multiple UN Security Council resolutions, raises tensions, and risks destabilizing the security situation in the region and beyond," Hodge said in a statement.

"We urge all countries to condemn this launch and call on the DPRK to come to the table for serious negotiations," Hodge said. "The door has not closed on diplomacy but Pyongyang must immediately cease its provocative actions and instead choose engagement."

North Korea's National Space Development Administration is analyzing the cause of the accident.
