On Tuesday, South Korea’s Yonhap News Agency quoted military source as saying that the missiles flew 600km from Hwangju province. South Korea’s military said the missiles have enough range to reach all of the south. This latest launch followed North Korea’s warning of response to the US’s missile deployment in South Korea.
