Undeclared missile bases discovered in N. Korea

President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un will have something new to discuss in February.

An undisclosed North Korean missile base has been found 132 miles from the South Korean border, a new report said.

The Sino-ri Missile Operating Base is the latest of up to 20 undisclosed bases to have been identified outside of the facilities the North Koreans have declared in denuclearization negotiations with the West, according to the report.

The newly discovered base may have been instrumental in developing North Korea’s Pukkosong-2 missile, which caught military watchers by surprise when it was tested in 2017.

“The Sino-ri missile operating base and the Nodong missiles deployed at this location fit into North Korea’s presumed nuclear military strategy by providing an operational-level nuclear or conventional first strike capability against targets located both throughout the Korean peninsula and in most of Japan,” the report reads.
