North Korea's missile tests prompt meeting of UN Security Council

North Korea launched several test missiles today on the US's Independence Day and the successful launch of the Space Shuttle. The action prompted a meeting of the UN Security Council. The Japanese have called for sanctions against North Korea. Most of the six test missiles were short range but one was long range with a range that could reach the United States. The long range missile failed 30 seconds after launch. The US has repeatedly warned North Korea not to engage in testing of missiles.
