South Korea says the DPRK has completed the preparations for launching its intermediate-range missile, the Musudan.

KBS reported that the DPRK loaded two medium-range missiles on mobile launchers near its east coast earlier this week. The missiles are expected to be launched around Wednesday. With a range of 3,000 kilometers, the Musudan threatens Japan and South Korea, along with US military facilities on Guam.

South Korea has sent Aegis destroyers equipped with advanced radar systems to both of its coasts in case of any attack. The US commander in the Asia-Pacific region says US forces will shoot down DPRK's missiles if US homeland, forward-deployed forces and allies are threatened.
