NEW YORK (AP) — North Korea's launch of a long-range rocket to put an object into orbit prompted an emergency early-morning meeting of the United Nations Security Council Sunday, as leaders around the world condemned the rogue state of violating UN sanctions.
The rocket was launched from North Korea's west coast only two hours after an eight-day launch window opened Sunday morning, its path tracked separately by the United States, Japan and South Korea. No damage from debris was reported.
