N Korea loads two missiles on launchers

While the tensions are rising in the USA over the nuclear strike that is imminent as proclaimed by the North Korea, reports suggest that the oriental nation has already moved another of its mid range missile to the east coast after yesterdays news. Further adding to the worry, N Korea is said to have loaded the missiles on mobile launchers taking the fears of the people to another level. South Korean officials identified the missiles to be both mid-range Musudan missiles which might at most cover a distance of 4000 km after being aided by a light warhead. The Yonhap agency mentioned that North Korea "loaded on vehicles equipped with launch pads".

On Thursday, the defense ministry acknowledged that there was one missile that was capable of being fired over a considerable range, the new incremental move further draws the ire of USA. The UN Sanctions and the South Korean US military drills make the situations even more tense. US is trying to ward off the attacks with interceptors being readied to prevent before any damage is done. While also taking prudent measures, the US says that the efforts of N Korea are regrettable and consistent with their notorious behavior.

To note, India falls in the 4000 km range of the missiles from North Korea but there is a high likeliness that it wouldn't fire the missile to the west and rather approach US from the easter side since the missiles also have been moved to the East Coast.
