Britain's former foreign secretary claims the military sabotaged the launch as Vice President Mike Pence arrives in Seoul to condemn the act as a 'provocation'

Vice President Mike Pence arrived in South Korea along with his family (pictured main) on Easter shortly after a failed North Korean missile launch that may have been 'thwarted by cyber attacks from the US.' North Korea attempted to fire a medium range missile that it introduced at a massive military parade, however, the weapon blew up roughly five seconds after being launched from a site near the port city of Sinpo. Of it's failure, former British conservative foreign secretary Sir Malcolm Rifkind told the BBC on Sunday: 'It could have failed because the system is not competent enough to make it work, but there is a very strong belief that the US - through cyber methods - has been successful on several occasions in interrupting these sorts of tests and making them fail.' After attending Easter church services, Pence said at a fellowship dinner that North Korea's 'provocation' is another reminder of the risks that U.S. and South Korean service members face every day 'in the defense of the freedom of the people of South Korea and the defense of America in this part of the world.' North Korean leader Kim Jong-Un is pictured left at a massive military parade where their weapons (top right) were on full display on Saturday in Pyongyang, North Korea to celebrate the 105th birth anniversary of Kim Il Sung, the country's late founder and grandfather of current ruler Kim Jong Un.
