[color=#000][font=tahoma, Helvetica, arial][size=14px]South Korea, the US and Japan have condemned the launch as a banned test of long-range missile technology. [/size][/font][/color]
[color=#000][font=tahoma, Helvetica, arial][size=14px]The US called it a "highly provocative act that threatens regional security", while UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon said it was a "clear violation" of a UN resolution. [/size][/font][/color]
[color=#000][font=tahoma, Helvetica, arial][size=14px]Japan has called for an emergency meeting of the UN Security Council. Reports suggested this could take place later on Wednesday. [/size][/font][/color]
[color=#000][font=tahoma, Helvetica, arial][size=14px]The launch comes a week ahead of the South Korean presidential election and roughly a year after the death of leader Kim Jong-il, on 17 December 2011.[/size][/font][/color]

[color=#000][font=tahoma, Helvetica, arial][size=14px]The three-stage rocket was launched from a site on North Korea's west coast. [/size][/font][/color]
[color=#000][font=tahoma, Helvetica, arial][size=14px]"The launch of the second version of our Kwangmyongsong-3 satellite from the Sohae Space Centre... on December 12 was successful," state news agency KCNA said. "The satellite has entered the orbit as planned." [/size][/font][/color]
[color=#000][font=tahoma, Helvetica, arial][size=14px]The [url=http://www.enread.com/news/politics/91222.html]rocket[/url]had been scheduled to pass between the Korean peninsula and China, with a second stage coming down off the Philippines. [/size][/font][/color]
[color=#000][font=tahoma, Helvetica, arial][size=14px]"The missile was tracked on a southerly azimuth [angle]. Initial indications are that the first stage fell into the Yellow Sea," a North American Aerospace Defence Command (Norad) statement said. [/size][/font][/color]
[color=#000][font=tahoma, Helvetica, arial][size=14px]"The second stage was assessed to fall into the Philippine Sea. Initial indications are that the missile deployed an object that appeared to achieve orbit."[/size][/font][/color]
[color=#000][font=tahoma, Helvetica, arial][size=14px]The Japanese government, which put its armed forces on alert ahead of the launch, said the rocket had passed over parts of Okinawa prefecture, south of the Japanese mainland. [/size][/font][/color]
[color=#000][font=tahoma, Helvetica, arial][size=14px]"The missile that North Korea calls a satellite passed over Okinawa around 10:01. We launched no interception," a government statement quoted by AFP news agency said. [/size][/font][/color]
[color=#000][font=tahoma, Helvetica, arial][size=14px]Japan had threatened to shoot down any debris which infringed on its territory, deploying naval vessels and land-based missile interceptors. [/size][/font][/color]
[color=#000][font=tahoma, Helvetica, arial][size=14px]Its top government spokesman called the launch "extremely regrettable" and something that Japan "cannot tolerate".[/size][/font][/color]
[color=#000][font=tahoma, Helvetica, arial][size=14px]South Korean President Lee Myung-bak, meanwhile, called an emergency meeting of his top advisors. His foreign minister said the [url=http://www.enread.com/news/politics/91222.html]government[/url]strongly condemned the launch.[/size][/font][/color]
[color=#000][font=tahoma, Helvetica, arial][size=14px]The US called the launch another "example of North Korea's pattern of irresponsible behaviour".
