North Korea readying for medium-range missile test

Seoul - North Korea may be readying to test fire a medium-range missile to underscore its anger over joint US-South Korea military drills that began this week, a report said on Tuesday.

Mobile launchers used for Rodong missiles have been deployed at a North Korean missile base north of Pyongyang, South Korea's Yonhap news agency reported, citing military sources.

"We've detected signs that North Korea has deployed two transporter erector launchers since a few days back in its Rodong missile station in North Pyongyang Province," one source was quoted as saying.
