SKOREA-NKOREA-MISSILE-SATELLITE

This handout photo received from the South Korea Defence Ministry on December 23, 2012 shows Seoul officials examining an oxidizer container recovered from the first-stage splashdown site of North Korea’s long-range rocket launched on December 12. The South’s defence ministry, based on the analysis of the container, estimated the launch amounted to the test of a ballistic missile capable of carrying a half-tonne payload over 10,000 kilometres.
