US researchers: N.Korea building launch facilities

A US research group says there is growing evidence that North Korea is rushing to develop vehicle-mounted mobile ballistic missiles.

On Monday, the US-Korea Institute at Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies released its analyses of satellite images of a launch base at Tongchang-ri in the country's northwest. They were taken on October 9th.

The researchers say they have confirmed the completion of a wide road connecting an area where an apparent new launch pad is under construction to a missile assembly factory.
