According to preliminary data, these two missiles are suitable for "destroying various air targets." This refers to cruise missiles and attack drones.
In addition, a report by the Center for Strategic and International Studies states that North Korea has built a number of undeclared missile bases that are not subject to any demilitarization process.
In particular, the Sinpung-dong missile base, located 27 kilometers from the Chinese border, likely contains six to nine Hwasong-15 or Hwasong-18 intercontinental ballistic missiles with corresponding launchers or transporters.
The Hwasong-15, also known as the KN-22, is a missile up to 22.5 meters long that can reach targets up to 13,000 kilometers away.
