No decision at UN meet over North Korea

United Nations: What steps should be taken against North Korea for its rocket launch? A divided UN Security Council was unable to come up with the answer on Sunday night after a series of discussions.

Members of the UN Security Council couldn't reach an agreement over whether North Korea has breached a UN resolution and whether it calls for punishment.

North Korea launched a long-range rocket on Sunday morning, which it claims was a communications satellite. Fears are the rocket could have been a disguised missile test.
