A new report reveals North Korea's secret Sinpung-dong missile base, located near the China border. This base, potentially housing up to nine nuclear-capable ICBMs, poses a significant threat to East Asia and the US. The report, from the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS), uses satellite imagery and other sources to detail the base's size, capabilities, and operational status since 2014. Its proximity to China raises concerns about potential fallout and political repercussions. This discovery underscores North Korea's expanding nuclear arsenal and its violation of UN sanctions, further escalating regional tensions.
