SEOUL, South Korea — A near two-week launch window for a North Korean long-range rocket began today, a day after Pyongyang said it may delay liftoff. North Korea has faced mounting international pressure to abandon what critics call a cover for a banned missile test.
North Korean scientists had been pushing forward with final preparations for the launch from a west coast site but are considering “readjusting" the timing for unspecified reasons, an unidentified spokesman for the Korean Committee for Space Technology said in a dispatch released by North Korea’s state-run Korean Central News Agency early Sunday.
