Summary:

This report reviews North Korea's ballistic missile program. In summer 2007, North Korea tested modern, short-range missiles. In July 2007, a Pentagon official said North Korea was about to deploy a new, advanced short-range missile, designated the KN-02, or Toksa (said to be a derivative of the former Soviet SS-21 missile). This report will be updated periodically. Additional information is provided by CRS Report RL33590, North Korea's Nuclear Weapons Program, by Larry A. Niksch.
