Seoul shows off new missiles in parade

The Republic of Korea showed off on Tuesday new missiles designed to target Pyongyang's artillery and long-range missiles and vowed to boost deterrence against its neighbor.

The ballistic Hyeonmu-2, with a range of 300 km (190 miles), and the Hyeonmu-3, a cruise missile with a range of more than 1,000 km (620 miles) were put on public display for the first time in a rare ROK military parade. Tuesday's parade was the biggest in 10 years.

Both of the indigenously developed missiles have been deployed. They were unveiled in February after the Democratic People's Republic of Korea conducted its third nuclear test in defiance of international warnings, two months after it successfully launched a long-range rocket and put an object into space.
