Norway said it received no formal notification that a rocket had crashed in its territory. Sweden said the rocket malfunctioned and landed about 10 km from the nearest settlement.
Ednews reports citing DW that Norway's foreign ministry expressed displeasure with Sweden for failing to immediately inform them about a research rocket that crashed into Norway.
The rocket, which was launched on Monday from Sweden's Esrange Space Centre, crashed into a mountainside in Norway's far north, about six miles from the closest inhabited area.
The Swedish Space Corporation, in a statement on Monday, said the rocket took a slightly longer and more westerly trajectory than calculated, and landed 15 km (9.3 miles) into Norway.
