DPRK confirms missile test launches
PYONGYANG, July 6 (Xinhua) -- A spokesman for the DPRK Foreign Ministry confirmed Thursday that the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) had test-fired missiles, saying the missile launches were part of the routine military exercises aimed at increasing the nation's military capacity for self-defense.
The spokesman said in a statement that the DPRK remains unchanged in its will to denuclearize the Korean Peninsula in a negotiated peaceful manner just as it committed itself in the Sept. 19 joint statement of the six-party talks, the official Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) reported.
DPRK missile launch "provocative": US
WASHINGTON, July 4 (Xinhua) -- U.S. national security adviser Stephen Hadley said on Tuesday that the launch of missiles by the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) was a "provocative behavior" but posed no apparent threat to U.S. territory.
"We do consider it provocative behavior" as the DPRK move violated a missile test moratorium, Hadley said.
The DPRK test fired a total of five missiles, including the long-range Taepodong 2 missile that resulted in failure about one minute after launch, U.S. officials said.
