said Tuesday that Korean schools have reported 120 cases of such attacks from July to Oct. 2 and another 51 cases since Oct. 3, when North Korea announced it would conduct a nuclear test. Six days later, it did.
The harassment included violence against students, an incident in which a school's musical instruments were thrown out into its athletic field in Yamaguchi Prefecture, and another in which the message, "Sanctions to nukes, eye for an eye" was posted on a Tokyo school's online message board.
North Korea tested a long-range Taepodong-2 missile believed to be capable of reaching the United States, along with six shorter-range missiles on July 5, and conducted an underground nuclear test on Oct. 9, sparking outrage in Japan.
