Seoul (B2B) - Korea Utara (Korut) memindahkan peluru kendali jarak menengah ke pantai timurnya, kata Korea Selatan, Kamis, sementara Amerika Serikat memperkuat pertahanan rudal Pasifik-nya di tengah ancaman meningkat dari Pyongyang.
Menteri Pertahanan Seoul, Kim Kwan-Jin, mengatakan peluru kendali itu dapat mencapai "jarak jauh", tapi tidak sampai ke daratan Amerika Serikat.
"Pemindahan itu mungkin bertujuan untuk melakukan uji tembak atau pelatihan militer," katanya kepada para anggota parlemen.
Korut yang marah terhadap sanksi-sanksi PBB dan pelatihan militer AS-Korsel, mengeluarkan serangkaian ancaman perang nuklir dalam pekan-pekan belakangan ini.
Seoul - North Korea has moved an intermediate-range missile to its east coast for test- firing or a military drill. Meanwhile, U.S. will deploy a Terminal High Altitude Area Defense System (THAAD), or a land- based ballistic missile system, to Guam as a precaution to strengthen the regional defense posture against the DPRK's ballistic missile threats.
South Korea's Defense Minister Kim Kwan-jin said Thursday that North Korea has moved an intermediate-range missile to its east coast for test- firing or a military drill.
"Displacement is probably aimed at test-fired or military training," he told lawmakers.
Tensions have been running high in the Korean Peninsula since the DPRK conducted its third nuclear test on February 12 in protest against the joint military drills between Seoul and Washington.
