Bolton urgently consulting over N.Korea missiles

UNITED NATIONS, July 4 (Reuters) US Ambassador John Bolton said he was ''urgently consulting'' with other members of the 15-nation Security Council after North Korea fired three missiles.

US officials said it was too early to decide whether to call a meeting.

A French diplomat, whose country holds the rotating presidency of the Security Council for July, told Reuters there had been no request for a meeting THIS evening.

Delegations, he said, were still gathering information.

The council is expected to take up the issue tomorrow at its regular consultations.
