S. Korea Raises Combat Readiness Near Sea Border, Yonhap Says

South Korea’s military increased combat readiness after spotting unusual military movement by North Korean forces along the western sea border, Yonhap News said, citing a South Korean government official it didn’t identify.

South Korea recently detected the relocation of a North Korean ground-to-air missile to the north of Baengnyeong Island near its disputed western sea border, according to Yonhap. North Korea also moved the missile’s mobile launch pad to a base near the sea border and recently fired several missiles off the coast, it said.
