South Korea has criticised a North Korean missile test which it says took place as a Chinese passenger plane flew in the area. Tuesday's launch was one of several missile tests conducted by Pyongyang in recent days. "There were no accidents, but a very dangerous and serious situation could have occurred," a spokesman said. A Chinese foreign ministry spokesman expressed concern and said Beijing would seek more information.
