(London Telegraph) Despite North Korea’s highly-publicised
missile tests, relatively little is known about the actual size
and capabilities of its arsenal.  The regime is understood to
have substantial numbers of short- and intermediate-range
missiles such as the Nodong, a variant on the Scud missile.
With a range of around 1,000km, the Nodong could in theory
strike in South Korea and Japan. However, its poor accuracy
makes it an ineffective battlefield weapon and it is unlikely
North Korea would be able to pinpoint US military bases in the
region, although it could cause serious civilian casualties.
