Ballistic missile launchers that North Korea has said it plans to deploy on the border with South Korea are believed to have a range of 110 km (68 miles), allowing them to target Chungcheong Province south of Seoul, the Yonhap news agency reported.
North Korean state media reported earlier this month that leader Kim Jong Un oversaw the delivery of 250 new tactical ballistic missile launchers described as modern tactical weapons personally designed by Kim to be transferred to the border.
Experts have said Pyongyang could use them to attack or threaten Seoul.
South Korean intelligence officials, however, are sceptical over whether North Korea can supply enough missiles for the 250 missile launchers while it also supplies weapons to Russia as part of bilateral military cooperation, Yonhap reported on Monday, citing lawmakers on the intelligence committee.
North Korea and Russia have been accused of conducting arms trade by Seoul and Washington to help replenish Russia's stock of missiles and artillery for its war with Ukraine. Pyongyang and Moscow have denied the allegations.
