North Korea launches long range missile

Posted: Updated:

North Korea says it successfully launched a long range rocket this morning.

State media reports the country was successful in putting a satellite into space.

The United States believes that is a cover in order for North Korea to test ballistic missiles capable of reaching the U.S.

The launch comes despite warnings from both the United Nations and Washington not to fire the rocket.
