New data indicates that the country’s arsenal may be more, more scattered and stable than previously considered.
In North Korea, a large secret base of long missiles, located 27 km from the border with China, was built and operated. It stores the most modern strategic weapons of the Kim Jong -un regime. She is writing about it Bloomberg On Thursday, August 21, mentioning the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS).
According to the report, the basis for Sinpun probably puts intercontinental ballistic rockets with solid fuel, capable of carrying nuclear warheads. The launch of such missiles is carried out immediately, so it is very difficult to monitor the attack in advance.

“These missiles bring a potential nuclear threat to East Asia and the continental part of the United States,” the report said.
The base construction began around 2004, while by 2014 the main facilities were built and appointed. Since then, the complex continues to expand, added to the report.
The South Korean Ministry of Defense said Pyongyang carefully monitored nuclear and missile activities, without providing details.
According to analysts, the base emphasizes the growing nuclear threat from the DPRK and indicates that the country’s arsenal may be larger, more scattered and sustainable than the previously considered. The location of the object on the border with China makes it more vulnerable to the strike, creating additional geopolitical risks for the United States and Beijing.
The discovery of a new base took place against the rear of joint military training of the United States and South Korea, which Pyongyang considered in preparation for the war.
Remember that in China they are said to be unaware of the details of the military cooperation between Russia and North Korea.
Meanwhile, North Korean leader Kim Jong -un ordered the number of centripugs to enrich uranium to increase the nuclear arsenal “exponentially”.
Earlier it was reported that North Korea had tried the new ballistic missiles Hwasongpho-11-Da-4.5. These missiles have ultra -large warheads.
