North Korea deploys 1,000 Hwasong-11D ballistic missiles against South Korea

On August 4, 2024, North Korea announced the deployment of 250 Hwasong-11D ballistic missile launchers to its southern border, marking the first time the country has publicly disclosed such a large-scale transfer of arms to its border units. Each launcher is designed to hold four short-range ballistic missiles capable of carrying 4.5-ton warheads at a range of up to 180 km, for a total of 1,000 missiles. This unveiling comes amid deteriorating relations with both South Korea and the United States, while North Korea's relationships with Russia and Hamas have grown closer, with multiple confirmed arms deliveries.
