"South Korean and U.S. intelligence authorities have obtained indications the North has moved an object that appears to be a mid-range missile to the east coast," an anonymous South Korean source told Reuters.
According to the Guardian, the North Korean Musudan missile has an estimated range of about 3,000 km (1,875 miles), placing the entirety of South Korea and Japan in the range of North Korea’s mid-range arsenal. Some reports also suggest that the United States territory of Guam is in range of these North Korean missiles as well. Reuters notes, however, that most experts believe the missiles remain untested. North Korea has also not successfully tested a long-range missile capable of hitting the mainland United States.
