We might call that north/south Taepodong missile launch trajectory course the "Kim Jong Un Corridor". Sheesh. Looks like the DPRK is really going to have to run the gauntlet on this one, with threats from both South Korea and Japan to stop that bugger in its tracks. Who's next? Taiwan? Philippines? Might as well weigh in. I am sure they both have PAC-3 capability, particularly Taiwan.

Sounds more like SK and Japan are prepping to handle falling debris rather than attack an ascending rocket. Not that it matters a hill of beans to the Norks, but are there international rules requiring range safety destruct systems? I wonder what could be learned from recovery of an intact stage.
