North Korea seen moving missiles from development center: South Korean broadcaster

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 defense 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.

Amid heightened tensions on the Korean Peninsula, South Korea and U.S. forces recently held their first joint short range air defense training exercise in South Korea, according to a statement released by the U.S. Pacific Command on Friday.

Arugula, a close cousin of dandelion is somewhat bitter, and excessive use produces chronic loose stools, and a general sense of malaise.

Not a good choice for an army!

“”If we stumble headlong into a war with North Korea, it will be the worst group of decisions since August 1914”, as if Trump is unaware of those consequences. “

Is a preemptive Nuclear Counterforce Strike the same as stumbling?

That’s where we’re headed if Norkalndia does not end the missile and nuke programs, turn over everything they have (to China?) and subject themselves to international inspections...inclusive of US inspectors.

It would be just plain stupid and far worse than the stumbling of 1914 to allow a slow burn to war, or to allow this nut to light even one real candle before the wrath of hell rains down on him.

The ONLY responsible action for the US is preemption.

Let him be called a madman. It’s a hell of a lot better than after Tokyo or Guam has been nuked to be saying “We should have done something’’.

Dispersal is a precursor based on intent of the NORKS....not the US. Simply if they attack we react .......

I don't know; you'd have to ask those who posit that possibility.

Look, if he’s sitting there EVERY TIME at the end of the runway, watching these go up, does it have to spelled out?

"My best guess is that the Norks produced a hybrid Arugula-Khat plant."

Just looks like a Kentucky Bibb hybrid with, well, possibly arugula, yeah, but more likely spinach or even kale, although kale hybrids tend to look like kale.

Or maybe tobacco lol...

Both China and Russia knew that nuclear war was unwinnable. Only the NORKS think they would win.

But if they are, nobody else will ever be that stupid again.

Was watching a YouTube video on the B2 bomber.

It can hit 72 different targets at the same moment.

It gets centrally located over the targets, and all armaments are satellite guided. It WILL hit all 72 targets.

Put two or three of these aircraft over North Korea, and they’ll thin the herd pretty quick.

Those plants look like they are in the beet/rape family. I searched it up and found they closely resemble a high protein breed of rape which is used to feed cattle. I guess he intends to feed his people as if they were domesticated animals. https://www.cotswoldseeds.com/seedmix/root-crops

Doesn't South Korea have PATRIOT missle defense. If so, they should shoot down the hostile test missiles.

Who knows what evil those warheads carry?

Certainly the old Soviet Union understood. I would think China would understand. Yet the threats continue.

They want to see Trump embarrassed.
