TOKYO -- While the world was transfixed by the tense Ukraine situation during the Beijing Winter Olympics, North Korea laid low and did not test-fire a single missile, holding off until Sunday. This may well have been at China's behest, but North Korean leader Kim Jong Un was also busy jump-starting economic development in the country's impoverished rural areas.
It is believed that the projectile North Korea fired over the weekend was a ballistic missile. The shot broke about a monthlong hiatus since Pyongyang's seventh missile test this year, on Jan. 30.
