Background

North Korea has notified neighbours including Japan of the trajectory of the rocket it plans to launch this month, a report said today, after international condemnation of the move by the nuclear-armed state.

The communist North announced yesterday it would launch a rocket sometime between December 10 and 22 — its second long-range rocket launch this year after a much-hyped but botched attempt in April.

Japan’s Defence Minister issued an order to shoot down a North Korean rocket if it threatens the nation’s territory, Jiji Press news agency said.
