| Japan warns N.Korea amid signs missile test imminent |
| 2006-06-18 |
| Japan warned North Korea on Sunday of "a harsh response" from Tokyo and Washington if it fired a long-range missile, as media reports suggested that the secretive state could be hours away from a test launch. Foreign Minister Taro Aso said in a television interview that Japan would seek an immediate meeting of the U.N. Security Council if Pyongyang went ahead with an intercontinental ballistic missile test. He voiced concern about the possibility of a missile dropping on Japan, but toned down a remark made in an earlier interview that Japan would automatically regard this as an attack. "We will not right away view it as a military act," he said. |

| #2 "We will not right away view it as a military act," We'll need about 30 seconds to confirm trajectory, then we'll consider it military and splash it. |
