COLORADO SPRINGS, Colorado (AP)

-- The Air Force station that is home to the North American Aerospace Defense Command was put on heightened security in the

past two weeks, a spokesman said.

The current " Bravo-Plus " status is slightly higher

than a medium threat level, said Michael Kucharek, a spokesman for NORAD and the

U.S. Northern Command, which is also at Cheyenne Mountain Air Force Station.

The heightened status affects the level of security at Cheyenne Mountain and doesn't change operations at

NORAD or the command, Kucharek said.

NORAD, a joint U.S.-Canadian military command, monitors the

skies for threats such as missiles, aircraft and space objects. The Northern

Command, founded after the September 11 attacks, is responsible for defending U.S. territory.

Kucharek declined to say whether rumors of a possible

missile launch in North Korea prompted the alert level to be raised.

On Tuesday, U.S. officials said that North

Korea launched a long-range

missile that may be capable of reaching the United States, but that the missile

failed after 35 or 40 seconds.

" We continue to monitor the situation (in North Korea) and are looking for and

will defeat any threat to the United

States and its territory, "

Kucharek said.
