| North Korea has launched a short-range missile from its Musudan-ri rocket launch site on the country's east coast, a South Korean government official said Friday. "What the North has launched this time appears to be different from what it had launched (previously)," the official said. "It is a new type of a land-to-air missile," the official said. North Korea launched the missile, with an estimated range of 160 km, into the East Sea at around 6:12 p.m., according to the official. The North has been firing a series of missiles since Monday, when it said it successfully conducted its second nuclear test |

| #2 WORLD MIL FORUM > IIUC NORTH KOREA'S MISSLES, WARHEAD PRODUCTION IS ALSO A SHADOW THREAT TO CHINA. SINO-NORTH KOREAN RELATIONS HAVE BEEN STEADILY ERODING SINCE NORTH KOREA'S 2006 NUCLEAR TEST. GIVEN KIM JONG-IL's WELL-KNOWN ERRATIC TEMPERMENT, THERE IS NO GUARANTEE FOR CHINA THAT KIM WILL NOT LAUNCH NUCLEAR/WMD-TIPPED MISSLES AT BEIJING OR OTHER MAJOR CHIN CITIES. * SAME > IIUC KOREA INSTITUTE OF NATIONAL DEFENSE EXPERT: NORTH KOREA MAY NEED ANOTHER FOUR YEARS [2012/13; 2012-2015 r.o.]TO ROUTINELY PRODUCE AND FIRE NUCLEAR MISSLES WITH NORMAL IMPUNITY; + DESPITE NORTH KOREA'S MISSLE-NUCLEAR TESTS, CHINA SHOULD STILL NOT ALLOW THE USA, JAPAN, AND SOUTH KOREAN ANTI-MISSLE WARSHIPS ACCESS INTO ITS SOVEREIGN WATERS IN THE CHINA SEAS. |
