Konbanwa:
I just saw on BBC World (both their top-of-the-hour newscast and the Asia Today programme) that the North Korean military tested three missiles -- one of which was reported of the "long-range" variety that could reach the States -- which fell into the Sea of Japan. U.S. officials suggested that as many as six might have been tested.
Needless to say, state officials in Japan and the States are very upset about this. Their South Korean counterparts are very nervous, to say the least. And I have to admit that this act was quite a scare indeed.
I wonder if any Forum members living in Japan have heard anything amongst their neighbours that might be worth sharing here. Outside of official channels (and I don't just mean the NHK), what has been the salaryman or OL's word on the street?
Anyone?
