South Korea deploying Hyunmoo IIIB cruise missile
Korea Times reported that South Korea has began deploying 1,000km-range surface-to-surface cruise missile earlier this year.

"Production of the Hyunmoo-III missile began earlier this year at LIG Nex1 facilities in Gumi, North Gyeongsang Province, and the missiles have been delivered to an Army unit," a source told The Korea Times on condition of anonymity.

South Korea is allowed to deploy the long-range weapon as the Missile Technology Control Regime (MTCR) restricts only high-speed ballistics missiles to a range of 300km.
