The ‘undeclared’ Sinpung-dong missile operating base is just 27km from the border with China, report by US thinktank says
North Korea has built a secret military base near its border with China which may house Pyongyang’s newest long-range ballistic missiles, according to new research.
The “undeclared” Sinpung-dong missile operating base lies about 27km (17 miles) from the Chinese frontier, the Washington-based thinktank Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) said in a report published on Wednesday.
The facility in North Pyongan province likely houses six to nine nuclear-capable intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs) and their launchers, the study said.
Maybe inside a volcano shaped like a skull and with some sharks warding the entrance?
Does the ICBMs look like a big
Do the sharks have lasers?
Of course they have!
And? I’m not trying to be flippant, but given the range of ICBMs does its location in that small of a country matter? And we’ve known for a while they’re working in ICBMs so really I fail to see what is alarming about this specifically.
Their ICBMs are not what American and Soviet ICBMs are/were. Best I could find was 2,800 miles, only a threat to Asia.

Wikipedia puts “ICBM” range at a minimum of 3,400 miles.
But you’re right, who gives a damn where in NK the base is. As unreliable as their tests have been, though getting better!, a few hundred miles north or south, meh.
