US Wants Emergency UN Security Council Meeting

UN-NKOREA-DIPLOMACY-US-NUCLEAR

The U.S. is calling on the UN Security  Council to hold an emergency meeting after North Korea's latest missile  test.  U.S.  officials believe the ICBM fired early Tuesday has a range of at least  35-hundred miles, which means it could possibly reach Alaska.  It's the  first time the isolated communist country has tested such a missile.   The missile traveled around 600 miles before landing in the Sea of  Japan. 

Secretary of State Rex Tillerson says  it will take global action to stop the North Korean threat.  In a  statement today, Tillerson strongly condemned the communist regime for  launching an intercontinental ballistic missile early Tuesday.  He  called the launch "a new escalation of the threat" to the United States  and the rest of the world."
