Foreign Minister Taro Aso said in a television interview that Japan
would seek an immediate meeting of the U.N. Security Council if
Pyongyang went ahead with an intercontinental ballistic missile test.
He voiced concern about the possibility of a missile dropping on Japan,
but toned down a remark made in an earlier interview that Japan would
automatically regard this as an attack.
"We will not right away view it as a military act," he said.
A Japanese government official was quoted by the Japanese daily Sankei
Shimbuna as saying that North Korea had told its people to raise the
national flag at 2:00 pm (0500 GMT) on Sunday and to then monitor
television for a "message to the people".
CBS News reported that South Korea's ambassador to the United States,
Lee Tae-sik, had told Korean correspondents in Washington that North
Korea may have fueled the missile already.
"Satellite photos confirmed scores of fuel tanks near the missile
launch pad. We are not sure whether they had already completed fuelling
or located (the tanks) there to fuel it," Lee was quoted as saying.
Aso stopped short of saying what Japan and the United States would do
in the event of a launch. Continued...
