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.

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. North Korea's previous efforts to put a spy satellite into orbit in May and August both failed, and Seoul, Tokyo and Washington had repeatedly warned Pyongyang not to proceed with another launch, which would violate successive rounds of UN resolutions. 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
