WASHINGTON, Dec 11 (Reuters) – The United States has noted

North Korea’s rocket launch and is monitoring the situation, an

administration official said on Tuesday.

“We noted the launch and we are monitoring the situation. We

will have further official comment later,” the official said in

an email message.

North Korea launched a long-range rocket for the second time

this year on Wednesday local time, and may have succeeded in

putting a satellite into space, the stated aim of what critics

say is a disguised ballistic missile test..
