Nordkorea (und Verbündete) vs. Südkorea (und Verbündete)

North Korea has moved a missile with "considerable range" to its east coast, South Korea's defence minister said Thursday, but he added that it is not capable of hitting the United States and there are no signs that Pyongyang is preparing for a full-scale conflict.
The report came hours after North Korea's military warned that it has been authorized to attack the U.S. using "smaller, lighter and diversified" nuclear weapons. It was the North's latest war cry against America in recent weeks, with the added suggestion that it had improved its nuclear technology.
South Korean Defence Minister Kim Kwan-jin dismissed reports in Japanese media that the missile could be a KN-08, which is believed to be a long-range missile that if operable could hit the United States.
The range he described could refer to a mobile North Korean missile known as the Musudan, which has a range of 3,000 kilometres. That would make Japan and South Korea potential targets, but little is known about the missile's accuracy.
Kim told lawmakers at a hearing that the missile's range is considerable but not far enough to hit the U.S. mainland. He said he did not know the reasons behind the missile movement, saying it "could be for testing or drills."
