SEOUL — The 25 million residents of Seoul were — loudly — jolted out of their indifference to the North Korean nuclear threat when air raid sirens blasted out across the South Korean capital around 6:32 a.m. local time Wednesday, warning of a North Korean missile launch.It turned out to be a false alarm — North Korea had fired what it called a space-launch vehicle around 6:29 a.m.
In Washington, the White House condemned North Korea for a “launch using ballistic missile technology,” with National Security Council spokesman Adam Hodge adding that the “door has not closed on diplomacy.” Senior North Korean official Ri Pyong Chol said Tuesday that the country’s first military reconnaissance satellite would provide “reliable reconnaissance information system” to “have a grip on enemy military activities in real time.”The North’s space launch is considered a breach of U.N. Security Council resolutions that restrict the regime from using ballistic missile technology, which can also be used for warheads.
Although Wednesday’s launch failed, North Korea has proven it can master difficult technology against the odds.
