Naro-1 fails to orbit

According to Interfax, the flight of Naro-1 (of type KSLV-1) was not successful. The Russian first stage worked as intended, but there was a problem after the stage separation. Rumors circulated that one half of the fairing became stuck (and presumably tumbled the stage out of control), but this is not confirmed.
