NATO condemns N Korean long-range missile launch

BRUSSELS, July 5 (Reuters) NATO condemned today North Korea's test-firing of at least six missiles including a long-range weapon, saying the move threatened the stability of the region and beyond.

''(This) poses a serious threat to the region and the international community at large,'' ambassadors of the 26-country Western alliance said in a statement that called on North Korea to desist from any further long-range missile launches.
