South Korea Says Taepodong-2 Launch Considered A Failure
North Korea's firing of missiles on Wednesday was "unwise" and the launch of a long-range Taepodong-2 missile ended in failure, a South Korean security official said. Suh Choo-suk, a senior security secretary for the presidential Blue House told reporters at a briefing that Seoul seriously regretted the launch and urged North Korea to return to stalled talks on ending its nuclear weapons programmes.
The Taepodong-2 blew up 40 seconds after launch, before first-stage separation. Fox News sez the Navy was standing by to intercept but that wasn't necessary. That's five SCUDs that hit the Sea of Japan and one major, egg-in-the-face ICBM screwup.
