North Korea Missile Launch

The missile North Korea launched over the weekend traveled twice as far as any missile ever launched by the country, showing the progress they continue to make.

Although the missile fell in the ocean, several other countries, including the United States, are calling for disciplinary actions by the United Nations.

U.S. Ambassador to the U.N., Susan Rice says that Washington wants a binding Security Council resolution so that North Korea cannot act without impunity.

President Obama also reacted, saying that North Korea, "broke the rules, once again, by testing a rocket that could be used for long-range missiles."

The rocket traveled more than 1,900 miles, and several countries in the Pacific are now in striking ranger. Alaska is still out of reach by more than one-thousand miles, and the mainland U.S. is even further.

The media in North Korea say the rocket also put an experimental satellite into orbit and that other countries are taking the launch too seriously.

The 15-member Security Council is not planning to meet today, but diplomats say Japan, the U.S., Russia, Britain, France and China are expected to discuss how to deal with North Korea.
