North Korea 'completes rocket installation' US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton on Tuesday urged her Nato allies and Russia to press North Korea to call off the mission. "The United States is deeply concerned about North Korea's recent announcement that it plans to carry out another rocket launch," Clinton told a meeting of the Nato-Russia council. We urge everyone here to publicly call upon North Korea to comply fully with its UN Security Council obligations. Pyongyang insists the launch is a "peaceful" and purely scientific mission aimed at placing a satellite in orbit. A previous attempt in April failed when the carrier exploded shortly after take-off. China has expressed "concern" at the launch plan, with the foreign ministry urging "relevant parties (to) act in a way that is more conducive to the stability of the Korean peninsula." Russia added its "regret" and noted that North Korea was obliged to abide by UN resolutions. But analysts say the international community is running out of options for pressuring the impoverished but nuclear-armed North, which is already under layers of sanctions. The six-party, aid-for-denuclearisation talks have been at a standstill since Pyongyang walked of the forum in April 2009. It staged its second nuclear test a month later.
