SEOUL (Reuters) - North Korea will face U.N. sanctions if it goes ahead with a long-range missile test which would be seen as a threat to the region, South Korea's foreign minister said on Wednesday.

U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said in Tokyo on Tuesday such a launch would be "very unhelpful" and Washington was watching the North's moves very closely.

"Whether the North launches a missile or a satellite, it is still a violation of a U.N. Security Council resolution," Foreign Minister Yu Myung-hwan told a group of diplomats and journalists. "It will inevitably be followed by sanctions."

North Korea appears to be readying a launch of its longest-range missile, the Taepodong-2, which experts said is designed to strike U.S. territory but has never flown successfully.
