South Korea has announced the development of a cruise missile with a range of 15-hundred kilometers.

A military official confirmed the completion of the development of the surface-to-surface “Hyunmu-3C” cruise missile by the Agency for Defense Development some two years after the project began.

The military plans to complete the deployment of the cruise missile by year’s end.

North Korea’s major military and nuclear facilities will be within range of the Hyunmu once it is deployed.
