Pyongyang may fire missile on Sunday: reports

(Yonhap, 6.18)

The North Korean government has ordered its people to hoist the country's national flag and watch a state message on television at 2 p.m. on Sunday, a move possibly linked with Pyongyang's missile activities, a Japanese newspaper said.

Citing unnamed Japanese government sources, the Sankei Shimbun reported Sunday that the reclusive communist state's leadership gave the instructions amid a series of reports of its readiness to test-fire a long-range ballistic missile.

민중의 소리

But oops.. - how boring - nothing was happen until now! 

But better to be a little more seriously..

Just short time ago, the intl.(of course bourgeois) media - especially from Europe and the US - was warning that a possible N.K. long-range missle test will take place soon.

The S.K. media was writing that THEY have no evidence about this kind of plans by the DPRK, not at all.

Just a few days later, during 6.15 celebrations in Gwangju S.K. officials wanted to warn, according to S.K. media, the North to test a Daepodong missile(^^since when the DPRK is impressed by warnings from outside, especially from the South??).

And now since about at least two days the S.K. govt. is "very concerned" about a planned missle test..

But on the other side, at the same time the S.K. govt. is telling the natl. and intl. audience
that only supporting the N.K. economy and securing the stability there is bringing forward peace, reconciliation and(hopefully soon) unification on the peninsula(so Roh to a group of S. K. military leaders).

Hey, its very funny/interesting that both articles - about the "warning" during 6.15 celebration and yesterday’s speech by Roh to a audience of S.K. military leaders – are disappeared since a short while on the home page of K. Times...^^

Meanwhile the intl. media is a kind of alarmed about the latest developments on the missile test areal in the DPRK:

N. Korea Gets Reminder on Missile Freeze (AP, 6.18)

Japan warns N. Korea against missile test (IHT, AFP, 6.18)

Japan warns N Korea on missile test (Al Jazeera, 6.18)

In the so-called S.K. "left" daily Hangyeore you can read this stuff:
