Seoul Deploys New Bunker Buster Missile Amid NK Threats
(MENAFN- Kuwait News Agency (KUNA))
TOKYO, Feb 18 (KUNA) -- South Korea has deployed a new homegrown bunker buster missile capable of striking underground enemy targets in its efforts to deter North Korean military threats, Yonhap News Agency reported Tuesday, citing the Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS).
The military has deployed the Korean Tactical Surface to Surface Missile, capable of conducting simultaneous precision strikes in a short span of time against North Korea's long-range artillery firepower that threatens the greater Seoul area, in the event of a contingency, the JCS said in a release.
The JCS said the latest deployment equips the military with the "overwhelming" capacity to completely destroy the enemy in the event of a contingency. The tactical ballistic missile has been developed to strike North Korean long-range artillery pieces hidden in caves and tunnels, which have a range of 180 km.
Many of the North's long-range artillery pieces are stationed within striking distance of South Korea's wider capital area, the report said.
"Our military will closely monitor North Korea's various military activities under the robust South Korea-US combined defense posture and maintain the overwhelming capacity and posture to counter any North Korean threat in an overwhelming manner," the JCS added. (end)
