World leaders blast DPRK for blasting off satellite into space

North Korea flexing its muscle this morning launched its satellite into orbit, but has drawn the ire of world leaders who are quite furious at such madness and defiance. In Britain, Foreign Secretary, William Hague let go his hammer on the head of DPRK over the satellite launch when he said said:“I strongly condemn the DPRK’s satellite launch today.

This provocative act will increase tensions in the region. I deplore the fact that the DPRK has chosen to prioritise this launch over improving the livelihood of its people."
