South Korea completes L-SAM missile development to enhance defense against North Korean threats.

South Korea has finished developing a new long-range surface-to-air missile (L-SAM) to boost its defenses against North Korea's missile threats. The L-SAM, designed to intercept missiles at altitudes over 40 kilometers, will join existing systems like the U.S. Patriot missile and the domestic M-SAM II by the mid-2020s. This advancement comes as tensions rise following North Korea's declaration of South Korea as a "hostile state."
