Details
According to a new study, North Korea has built a secret military base near the border with China. A report by the Washington-based Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) states that the "undeclared" Sinpung-dong missile operating base is located approximately 27 km from the Chinese border.
The base, located in North Pyongan province, likely houses six to nine nuclear-capable intercontinental ballistic missiles and their launchers.
The report also notes that these weapons "pose a potential nuclear threat to East Asia and the continental United States."
The first comprehensive open-source confirmation of the Sinpung-dong base, it is noted, also states that this facility is one of "15-20 ballistic missile bases, maintenance facilities, and warhead storage sites that North Korea has never declared," Barrons reports.
Recall
