South Korea tests precision strike missile in response to North Korean ICBM

Test of Hyunmoo-II ballistic missile demonstrates ROK’s ability to carry out precision strikes, military says

South Korea test-fired a Hyunmoo-II surface-to-surface missile on Thursday, seeking to demonstrate its precision strike capabilities in response to North Korea's recent ballistic missile launches.

Seoul’s Joint Chiefs of Staff announced in a press release that the ROK Army’s Missile Strategy Command launched the missile from the Anheung test site in South Chungcheong Province, which flew approximately 200 kilometers and accurately struck a target in the Yellow Sea.
