"The North is showing signs of deploying a Scud missile near Wonsan and a Rodong missile in the North Pyeongan Province," a government source told the Yonhap news agency, citing data from a radar system that South Korean and US military operate jointly.
"It seems that (the North) is weighing the timing of the firing under its strategic intention to increase military tension on the Korean Peninsula to the highest level," the source noted.
Pyongyang uses missile tests to demonstrate resilience in standoffs with Seoul, for instance during South Korea’s regular and large military drills with US troops.
The North Korean ambassador to China believes tensions on the Korean peninsula are close to war due to continuous S. Korean political and military provocations.
The leader of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea Kim Jong-un has ordered frontline combined forces to enter a state of war from 5:00p.m. (0830 GMT) on Friday, the official KCNA news agency reports.
The order was issued during an emergency meeting of the central military commission of the ruling party, Xinhua reports. The announcement comes after an exchange of fire between the rivals on Thursday.
