North Korea has set up a special-purpose division of intermediate-range ballistic missiles, reports South Korea’s Yonhap news agency with reference to an unidentified government source. Seoul sees the move as North Korea’s determination to go ahead with developing missiles with an effective range of over 3000 kilometres. North Korea launched the production of its first intermediate-range ballistic missile in the late 1990s, a missile that, according to Yonhap, can reach Russia, India and the US island territory of Guam in the Pacific.
