SEOUL (Reuters) - Several North Korean missiles were recently spotted moved from a rocket facility in the capital Pyongyang, South Korea's Korean Broadcasting System (KBS) reported late Friday amid speculation that the North was preparing to take more provocative actions.

 

The report cited an unnamed intelligence source saying South Korean and U.S. intelligence officials detected missiles being transported away from North Korea's Missile Research and Development Facility at Sanum-dong in the northern part of Pyongyang.

 

The report did not say when or where they had been moved.

 

The missiles could be either intermediate range Hwasong-12 or intercontinental ballistic Hwasong-14 missiles, according to the report, though the missile facility at Sanum-dong has been dedicated to the production of intercontinental ballistic missiles.

 

A source from South Korea's defence ministry said he could not confirm details of the report or whether there has been any unusual activities in the area mentioned.

 

South Korean official have voiced concerns that North Korea could conduct more provocative acts near the anniversary of the founding of its communist party on Oct. 10, or possibly when China holds its Communist Party Congress on Oct. 18.

..poor crop really ..only grew 10cm tall.

Of course N.Korea is going to continue playing shell games.  They're going to build blast-hardened bunkers and house their top-shelf weapons and most important peopl in them.  They're going to move the marbles around at night, with minimum lights/heat tracks.

 

I wouldn't be surprised if there are several elaborate tunnels leading to various border points - along China and Russia.  They probably have a nifty fast-moving cart with a comfy chair - for guess-who.

 

  "Please great leader, put on safety helmet, and so sorry if it messes up your handsome hair cut.  Oh, and please take no more than one case of Couvoisier and only two of your favorite play-girls.   We must get you out of reach of the ogres as quick as possible, so we have to streamline the operation.  So sorry for inconvenience, Dear Leader."

The report should probably read something more like, "several items that look like missiles.....".
