South China Morning Post:
North Korea has a clandestine base that houses intermediate-range missiles capable of hitting Japan’s Okinawa Prefecture, a US think tank said on Friday.
The Sangnam-ni missile operating base, 250km north of the border with South Korea, is one of an estimated 20 undeclared missile bases in North Korea, the Centre for Strategic and International Studies said in a report.
The deployment of the Hwasong-10, with a range of more than 3,000km, at Sangnam-ni is “a component of North Korea’s presumed offensive ballistic missile strategy that provides a strategic-level first strike capability against targets located throughout East Asia as far as US forces in Okinawa and Guam”, the report said.
