North Korea Deploys Anti-Air Missiles
abc.net.au reports:
North Korea has reportedly deployed missiles near the South Korean border as naval exercises get underway.
Naval war games are underway today off the west coast of South Korea.
The exercise includes the use of the nuclear-powered aircraft carrier USS George Washington.
North Korea has warned that such games risk pushing the peninsula to the brink of war.
According to South Korea's Yonhap News Agency, North Korea has deployed SA-2 surface-to-air missiles near the border.
The report suggested that the missiles appear to be in place to target the South's jets flying close to the frontier.
These Soviet-designed missiles have a range of between 8 and 30 kilometres.
Though the report is new, the missiles are said to have been in place for days.
