North Korea Rocket Test Goes Ahead

A space launch by North Korea which many believe to be a cover for a ballistic missile test has gone ahead today, according to the BBC. North Korea originally reported that they had put a satellite into orbit playing pro-North Korean songs, but the US stated that the attempt had failed. The launch took the rocket over South Korea and Japan, the first stage dropping off in the waters between the two countries. Japan had said they would take action against any debris that fell into their territory. The action contravenes UN resolution 1718 which states any form of ballistic missile launch demands international action.
