North Korea Test Launches Seventh Missile; Possibly Twelve Total

July 5, 2006 :: AP :: News

North Korea test-launched a seventh ballistic missile today, provoking international condemnation and possible sanctions. An official at the South Korea Joint Chiefs of Staff confirmed that the seventh missile was either short- or medium-range. Japan’s Kyodo News Agency reported that the missile landed six minutes after launch, but did not give a location. North Korea’s actions provoked immediate international condemnation, including the convening of an emergency session of the U.N. Security Council and calls in Japan for economic sanctions against the communist regime.
        The Chosun Ilbo reports that, overall, there were two salvos of missiles, and as many as twelve total, with the second salvo perhaps also including a number of surface-to-ship missiles.  (Article)
