N.Korea deploys more missiles on east coast

North Korea has moved two mobile SCUD missile launchers to the country’s eastern coast, in addition to seven missile complexes it deployed there early this month, South Korean military officials said on Saturday.

Right now there are nearly a dozen ballistic missiles there, including the Musudan missiles with an effective range of up to 4,000 km, which means they can reach targets in Japan and Guam.

Japanese and South Korean armed forces have been on heightened alert since April 10 in anticipation of more missile launches by the North.
