SEOUL: South Korea said on Tuesday it was capable of detecting and intercepting the variety of missiles North Korea launched in a recent barrage of simulated nuclear attacks on its rivals, though it maintained that Pyongyang's advancing nuclear program posed a grave security threat.

This came a day after North Korea said its two weeks of firing drills involved nuclear-capable ballistic missiles, warplanes and other assets to practice possible attacks on South Korean and United States targets.
