Missile towards Japan?

The Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) may be preparing to use the site of its previous ballistic missile launches on the east coast to fire its longest range missile, possibly toward Japan, news reports said yesterday.

The Republic of Korea's (ROK) Chosun Ilbo newspaper quoted government sources as saying that a large object suspected to be part of a long-range Taepodong-2 missile was being transported to the missile site on the DPRK's east coast.
