South Korea has developed a missile that penetrates underground bunkers.


South Korea has adopted a new missile that can attack the enemy's underground targets. This was reported by the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
These new ballistic missiles can accurately hit targets in North Korea, facilitating the deterrence of military threats from the DPRK and quickly destroying the enemy's artillery in the event of military conflict. Committee representatives noted that the missile provides the military with an 'advantage' and can fully destroy the enemy in unpredictable circumstances.
The new tactical ballistic missile called 'Ure' (translated from Ukrainian as 'Thunder') was developed to attack long-range artillery systems of North Korea located in caves and tunnels. The missile has a range of 180 kilometers.
A large number of long-range artillery systems of the DPRK are located in an area accessible to the capital of South Korea, where nearly half of the country's population resides.
Representatives of the Joint Chiefs of Staff stated: 'Our military will monitor any military actions by North Korea, maintaining a reliable joint defensive posture of South Korea and the United States, and will retain the capability and readiness to respond to any North Korean threats.'
