North Korea has moved a second mid-range missile to its east coast and loaded both on mobile launchers, a report said on Friday, fuelling fears of an imminent firing that will further ramp up tensions.

Yonhap news agency, citing a top South Korean official, said two intermediate Musudan missiles had been transported by train earlier and “loaded on vehicles equipped with launch pads”.

The Defence Ministry, which yesterday had confirmed the movement of one missile with “considerable range”, declined to comment on new report.
