South Korea's Defense Intelligence Agency says it has detected the movement of at least 250 North Korean transporter-launcher (TEL) vehicles into the Korean Demilitarized Zone.
TELs are capable of launching North Korean short, and medium-range, ballistic missiles.
The entry of these missile-launching trucks violates the terms of the Armistice which halted the Korean War, because they have entered a "De-Militarized Zone (DMZ)"
