- N.Korean Satellite Falls into West Sea
- North Korea fired a space rocket Wednesday just days after it announced plans to launch a military spy satellite, setting off sirens and evacuation warnings in Seoul and Okinawa. The rocket was fired southward from Tongchang-ri, North Pyeongan Province at around 6:30 a.m and fell into the West Sea some 200 km off the South's Eocheong Island, the Joint Chiefs of Staff said.
