FOXNews.com - North Korea Launches Rocket, Defying World Pressure - International News | News of the World | Middle East News | Europe NewsBREAKING NEWS — North Korea defiantly carried out a provocative rocket launch Sunday that the U.S., Japan and other nations suspect was a cover for a test of its long-range missile technology.
Liftoff took place at 11:30 a.m. (0230GMT) Sunday from the coastal Musudan-ri launch pad in northeastern North Korea, the South Korean and U.S. governments said. The multistage rocket hurtled toward the Pacific, reaching Japanese airspace within seven minutes, but no debris appeared to hit its territory, officials in Tokyo said.
The U.N. Security Council approved an emergency session for Sunday afternoon in New York, following a request from Japan that came minutes after the launch.
The South Koreans called it "reckless," the Americans "provocative," and Japan said it strongly protested the launch.
For all intents it seems North Korea has proven it is capable of hitting strategic ports in the Pacific. While Allied to a China that is in "agreement" with Russia...
The UN can resume the war if it wants right now and even be "justified" in all the intellectually dishonest whiny "international law" circles..but it won't.
