North Korea Fires Rocket, Sparks Outcry

Brushing aside warnings from the international community, North Korea launched a long-range rocket yesterday.

The UN banned them from using missiles and missile-related tools.

The US, Japan, and South Korea believe the missile was a cover-up for their latest missile technology, Taepodong-2, is designed to reach Alaska.

Given the fact that this could be deadly, another war may start.

China and Russia have urged all nations to ‘exercise restraint’.

Comments:

I think this is defiance.

North Korea may start another war.


Why did they do something that the UN has banned them to do?

Hope they are stopped.
