A South Korean news channel in a Seoul restuarant broadcasts North Korea related coverage after Pyongyang's firing of what it claims is a military spy satellite.

Japan issued an evacuation order to residents in the southern region of Okinawa before rescinding the call after the missile passed into the Pacific Ocean just before 11:00 pm (1400 GMT). IMAGES
