North Korea threatens to go ahead with missile test.
Japan was on a state of high alert last night after a senior North Korean official declared that Pyongyang was not bound by a 2002 moratorium on testing long-range missiles.

The North Korean threat follows days of escalating tension prompted by evidence that Pyongyang is preparing to test a missile that could reach Japan and parts of the continental US.

Ri Pyong Dok, a North Korean foreign ministry official responsible for Japan, told Japanese journalists in Pyongyang, Kyodo news reported, that a long-range missile test launch “is not bound by any statement such as the Pyongyang Declaration”.
