Debka: North Korea test-fires a seventh missile Wednesday
2006-07-05
US Northern Command and the South Korean Defense Ministry confirmed Japanese reports that the missile was launched early Wednesday, July 5. The missile was medium-range, according to South KoreaÂ’s Yonhap news agency.

The reclusive regime launched 10 missiles of different classes, according to Russia's chief of General Staff.

The UN Security Council is to meet Wednesday to discuss the issue, the French ambassador said.

NATO said North KoreaÂ’s long-range missile launch posed a serious threat to the region and beyond.

One of two long-range missiles that were launched Tuesday failed 40 seconds into flight and landed in the Sea of Japan, according to US and South Korean officials.

#5  Just how many missiles does Nkor have? Ten (10) would be a sizeable dent in the inventory, no?

#3  Could they come up with a slightly more intimidating name than "No Dong," please? I think our MX, Trident, and Peacekeeper missiles sound pretty badass. But "No Dong" just fails to send shivers down my spine.

He just wanted to join in with July 4 celebration, and shoot off fireworks. Person responsible for two failures will be working on Northeast Rice Collective for 20 years on half-ration. Of course.... no rice.... no half-ration
