N Korea exporting rockets to Myanmar

North Korea has started exporting multiple-launch rockets to military-ruled Myanmar, after the two nations agreed to normalise ties last year, a Japanese television report said yesterday.
The weapons exports are in violation of economic sanctions imposed on North Korea after the communist state conducted a nuclear test in October 2006, Japan's public broadcaster NHK reported, citing unnamed diplomatic sources.
It said "full-scale" exports of the weapons had been handled by an unnamed Singapore trading company.
Multiple-launch rockets are 24 centimetres (9.4 inches) in diameter and about one metre (yard) long, each with a range of about 65 kilometres (40 miles), the report said.
