While the United States was freaking out about the Boston Bombings, on 16 April 2013 North Korea moved at least two more mobile short range Scud ballistic missiles to South Hamgyeong Province on its east coast.

That’s according to Yonhap News Agency, who quoted unnamed South Korean military officials.

The Democratic People’s Republic of Korea has three versions of the old Soviet Scud, based on reverse engineering.  The Hwasong-5 and 6 are short range, but the Rodong-1 is claimed to be able to hit Japan.

At the beginning of April, the DPRK moved two medium range Musudan missiles to Wonsan, and at least seven Scud type mobile missile launchers were dispersed between Wonsan and South Hamgyeong.

Japanese media had also reported that possibly two long range KN-08 ICBMS were moved as well, they can hit the western United States.

The revaluation that North Korea moved two more Scud type missiles this week came a couple of days after Republic of Korea Chief of National Security, Kim Jang-soo, stated that there was no evidence of North Korean missile activity!
