Will any ordinance fly through air from N. Korea into S. Korea in 2009?
Background: Admittedly this is a bit of a tribute to a Spritzered market I made previously about Iranian missiles... ask an older Hubdubber... but to settle for a yes there will need to be something fired from North Korea into South Korea... bullets, missiles, military ordinance of any kind will qualify. Shoes, banana peels, pumpkins, etc. while novel will not count.

SEOUL, Feb 4 (Reuters) - North Korea may be preparing to use the site of its previous ballistic missile launches on the east coast to fire its longest range missile, possibly towards Japan, news reports said on Wednesday.
The U.S. and South Korean militaries are slated to begin 12 days of exercises at sites across South Korea on Monday — a joint annual effort the allies call routine defensive drills but that the North has condemned as preparations for an attack.
The rise in rhetoric from Pyongyang comes amid mounting regional concerns that Pyongyang will test-fire a long-range missile capable of reaching Alaska. Analysts say North Korea may use the launch as a bargaining chip in talks with Washington and four other nations seeking to disarm the regime of its nuclear program.
On Wednesday, President Barack Obama's new U.S. envoy on North Korea warned the communist North against conducting a missile test.
Stephen W. Bosworth, speaking in China before heading for Japan, said Beijing and Washington were united in opposition to Pyongyang's alleged missile launch plan, saying, "We both believe it would not be a good idea to have a missile launch."

I didn't request settlement on any North Korea questions as I have not followed this very closely, and I don't know if this rocket launch settles any of these questions. I'll leave that research to other users who are familiar with these questions.
