North Korea launched a long-range rocket on Sunday morning carrying what Pyongyang says is satellite Kwangmyongsong-4 — named after the late leader Kim Jong II. Its launch caused North Korea’s neighbors and the United States to release a flurry of condemnations. Many see it as a disguised ballistic missile test.
