UPDATE - North Korea tested five missiles, one of them a long-range weapon of the type that could reach the United States. This missile, a Taepodong Type 2, failed 40 seconds into its flight, in all probability due to a fuel system breakdown.

ThePentagon described the deployment as a routine trainingmission, but the North reacted angrily, calling the action a"malicious challenge."
