South Korea test-fires missile that can strike all of the North

South Korea on Wednesday test-launched a new ballistic missile that can hit all of North Korea, the president's office said, developed under a new agreement with the United States that lets Seoul extend the weapon's range to up to 800 km (500 miles).

President Park Geun-hye made a rare visit to a missile base on the west coast to watch the launch of the guided missile, which will be a key part of the South's defense against its neighbor's nuclear and missile threat, her office said. "The test demonstrated improved ballistic missile capability that can strike all parts of North Korea swiftly, and with precision, in the event of armed aggression or provocation," the presidential Blue House said in a statement. [...]

South Korea's missile is the first developed under new guidelines signed with the United States in 2012 to more than double the range of the South's missiles to tackle its disadvantage with Pyongyang's missile capabilities.
