"New Threats From North Korea; Missile Repositioned at Border" PBS Newshour 4/4/2013
Excerpt
JEFFREY BROWN (Newshour): There were new rumblings from North Korea today, as it tried to bolster its latest threats against the U.S. by moving a missile with -- quote -- "considerable range" to its eastern coast.
The announcement of that move came from South Korea's defense minister. But he also said that the missile wasn't capable of reaching the United States.
DEFENSE MINISTER KIM KWAN-JIN, South Korea: As I see its firing range, it is not aimed at the U.S. mainland. We're closely monitoring North Korea. We haven't found any signs of all-out war, but we consider that its provocation is always possible and we are ready for it.
JEFFREY BROWN: Pyongyang's newest provocation is part of its ongoing rallying cry against joint U.S.-South Korea military exercises on the peninsula and a reaction to the U.N. Security Council's renunciation of the North Korea nuclear test in February. State television broadcast North Korea's latest threat against the United States.
