(LEAD) N. Korea warns Japan against searching for rocket debris
(ATTN: UPDATES with English statement, criticism of Japan's wrong launch info, details)
SEOUL, April 8 (Yonhap) -- North Korea's military warned Japan on Wednesday against trying to find debris from its long-range rocket, saying mobilizing combat ships for the search would be a "military provocation."
The General Staff of the North's Korean People's Army also sneered at Japan's erroneous report that the North had fired the rocket on Saturday, a day before the actual launch.
North Korea fired a three-stage rocket whose first-phase booster is believed to have fallen into the East Sea. The Japanese government was considering salvaging parts of the rocket to examine the state of the North's ballistic technology.
