N.Korea to Launch New Missile Wednesday - Tass MOSCOW (Reuters) - North Korea plans to conduct a new ballistic missile test Wednesday, Russia's Itar-Tass news agency quoted diplomatic sources in Moscow as saying on Monday. Japan said North Korea fired a ballistic missile over its territory on Aug. 31 and has since said the Stalinist state was close to a second launch. North Korea has said it launched not a ballistic missile but a rocket carrying the country's first satellite. The Russian Foreign Ministry told Reuters it knew nothing of a new test. "We have received no information about this yet," said one Russian diplomat. Moscow has backed North Korea's statement that what it fired last week was a satellite-bearing rocket. Tass, one of the few foreign news organizations with a correspondent in Pyongyang, gave no further details about the next expected launch. Japan reacted angrily to North Korea's previous test, suspending food aid to the reclusive, impoverished state and breaking off diplomatic talks. Tokyo has said it has the right to strike back if attacked by missiles. Part of the first North Korean projectile apparently landed in waters off Russia's Pacific Ocean coast. The other stages crossed over Japan's main island of Honshu and landed in the Pacific Ocean.
