North Korea Builds Up Missiles
Korea Herald: North Korea Builds Up Missiles
North Korea is reported to be building two underground launching sites aimed at deploying an intermediate-range ballistic missile with a target distance of up to 4,000 kilometers following successful development last year.
The missile is capable of reaching U.S. military bases in Guam or possibly Hawaii, the new report said.
“Two missile stations in Yangduk in western Pyeongan Province and in Heocheon in northeastern Hamgyeong are under construction with 70 to 80 percent completed,” the Chosun Ilbo newspaper reported, citing an unidentified South Korean official.
The source said a U.S. spy satellite has detected about 10 new ballistic missiles and mobile launching pads at these bases.
