North Korea demanded Apr. 19 that South Korea apologize for what it called insults during major anniversary festivities, or face a "sacred war", as Seoul unveiled a new missile to deter its neighbor.
A cruise missile made by South Korea is seen after being launched during a test at an undisclosed location, in this picture released by South Korea's defence ministry in Seoul April 19, 2012. South Korea has added to its arsenal the cruise missile that can hit anywhere in the North, the Defence Ministry announced on Thursday, a day after Pyongyang said it was ready to retaliate in the face of international condemnation over its failed rocket launch. The defence ministry said the cruise missile's range is over 1,000 kilometres and it has been distributed to the army already, according to local media.
