| Northern Australia was bombed by North Korea late last night |
Claire Herly of the Australian War Ministry states that the death toll is now approximately 55 (earlier reports of 55,000 were caused by technical difficulties on her end). It would have been greater if not for the north's population being sparse.
The UN Security Council is meeting to form a response coalition. Most major Western superpowers have indicated major support, but it is unclear which specifically.
To aid those who survived the attack, all of the major aid NGOs are now on the ground, including the Red Cross and Doctors Without Borders.
It has been determined that the weapon was not a nuclear bomb.
There have been no official instances of additional foreign aid, but Hely believes that USAID workers are on the ground as part of their discretionary budget.
Hely does not believe that Australia was the intended target of the missile.
