S. Korea's military deploys new bunker buster missile, capable of striking N. Korean underground targets

South Korea's military has deployed a new locally-developed bunker buster missile to its frontline units, that can destroy North Korean targets buried deep underground.

The Korean tactical surface-to-surface missile is capable of striking North Korean command facilities and long-range artillery systems that threaten South Korea's capital area.

Also named Ure, or "thunder" in Korean, the missile has a range of 180 kilometers and is equipped with a warhead that can penetrate several meters underground.

Development began back in November 2010.
