The rocket had crashed in Siberia

A Russian rocket carrying a Mexican satellite has malfunctioned and burnt up over Siberia soon after launch on Saturday, Russia's space agency says.

The Proton-M carrier rocket broke down minutes after it was launched from Kazakhstan on Saturday morning, the Roscosmos agency said.
The cause of the accident is being investigated, Roscosmos added.
Russia's space programme has experienced a series of embarrassing mishaps in recent months.
Earlier reports said that the rocket had crashed in Siberia.
On Tuesday Russia was forced to delay the return of three astronauts on board the International Space Station (ISS) after an out-of-control unmanned cargo ship also burnt up as it re-entered the Earth's atmosphere on 28 April.
"There has been a malfunction on board the booster rocket. This broadcast is now over," the presenter said.
Roscosmos said that "an emergency situation took place when the Proton-M rocket launched with a MexSat-1 satellite".
"The reasons are being identified," the agency said in a statement (in Russian).
Space industry sources say that the Mexican satellite has not been found and launches of Proton-type rockets will be grounded until the reason for the malfunction is established.
Roscosmos said in a statement that the communications satellite, booster and third stage burnt up almost entirely in the atmosphere with no evidence of anything falling to earth.
