In another report the Asahi Shimbun filed from Seoul, N. Korea has been repeatedly moving multiple mobile launchers with ballistic missiles almost daily since the middle of last month, saying, "S. Korea, U.S., and Japan are stepping up their watch, since North Korea could do a surprise (missile) launch."
The newspaper said, "US intelligence satellites are tracking the movements of multiple mobile launchers on land. There is no indication that missile launch is imminent, such as erecting a launcher. They are just moving the vehicles."
The type of (on-board) missiles is not specifically known, but the newspaper said it could be a medium-range ballistic missile called 'Hwaseong 12', an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) 'Hwaseong 14', or an improved ICBM.

It added, "On November 25, China's new leadership was elected, and it could be said that the possibility of N. Korean provocation went up, relatively speaking. "
