The five permanent U.N. Security Council members, plus Japan and South Korea, agreed on a draft resolution to be discussed on Friday, a diplomat said. The United States and Japan have pushed for strong sanctions to punish North Korea for its nuclear test in May, but China and Russia had been cautious about provoking Pyongyang by imposing more sanctions. South Korea's defense minister said the North's recent moves were linked to leader Kim Jong-il's succession plans. North Korea has angered the region and countries beyond in the past few weeks with missile launches, threats to attack the South and a nuclear test, prompting U.S. and South Korean forces to raise a military alert on the peninsula to one of its highest since the 1950-53 Korean War. Cranking up tension, Russia's military said it had information on plans for another missile launch. "We have certain information about the type and characteristics of the missile. However, we do not have accurate data on the timing," Interfax news agency quoted a senior military source as saying. South Korean Defense Minister Lee Sang-hee, meanwhile, linked the North's threats and flurry of military activity to Kim Jong-il paving the way for his son to succeed him. "Kim Jong-il is bloodshot in the eyes trying to build a succession plan to pass on power by creating tension ... while ignoring the desperate plight of his starving people and the impoverished state of the economy," he said in an address to troops, according to a military aide on Wednesday. "The North Korean regime is an unethical, irresponsible and inhumane group which puts its own survival ahead of the lives and happiness of the people." LAWMAKERS BRIEFED ON SUCCESSION South Korean lawmakers said they were briefed by the South's spy agency and told the North's leaders have started the groundwork that would allow Kim's youngest son, Swiss-educated Jong-un, to take over power. Analysts said the show of military strength might help leader Kim, 67, divert attention from a faltering economy that has only grown worse under his rule and also boost support after a suspected stroke about a year ago raised questions over his iron grip on power. His economy could take another hit from further U.N. sanctions, although the reclusive nation is already largely isolated from the world economy. North Korea appeared to be ready to ratchet up tensions by firing a long-range missile that could reach U.S. territory and mid-range missiles capable of striking anywhere in the South and most of Japan, officials said.
