North Korea has second long-range missile site

Posted by Matt in September 10th, 2008

The new launch facility is built on the site of a small village called Pongdong-ni which was displaced during construction. It includes a movable launch pad and 10-story tall tower capable of supporting North Korea’s largest ballistic missiles and rockets. It also includes a rocket motor test pad, which Brown and Bermudez said is similar in size and design to a rocket test facility outside of Tehran, Iran. There are also support buildings.

“The discovery of this new facility demonstrates that North Korea is still conducting an ambitious ballistic missile program and may still have plans to launch satellites into space,” Brown said.

Bermudez and Brown refer to the site as the Tongch’ang-dong launch facility, naming it after the closest village. U.S. intelligence does not use the same name for the site. Officials would not immediately divulge the term they use.

North Korea raises tension with a missile launch
Anna Chan: North Korea has test-launched several short-range missiles today in what analysts say is a show of anger towards Washington and South Korea. Here's more. The launch comes one day after the North expelled South Korean officials from a joint industrial complex. The new government in Seoul has told its communist neighbors to clean up its human rights abuses and get on with nuclear disarmament talks. South Korean officials say the missile launches were part of a military exercise. [Lee Dong-Kwan, Blue House Spokesperson]: "It looks like part of a regular military exercise to the Blue House and we are closely monitoring the situation... We believe the North does not want a deterioration of relations between the South and the North." New South Korean president Lee Myung-bak says...

N. Korea may have fired more missiles
Hello and welcome to a UPI headline update. I'm Kristin Volk on this Thursday, the 7 day of June 2007. North Korea may have fired short-range missiles into the West Sea today. South Korean officials are confirming this intelligence. They say the country could have fired one or two. A South Korean news agency is reporting that the firing is believed to be a test. This comes two weeks after North Korea fired a short-range missile into the East Sea. U.S. President Bush is saying "enough is enough" in Darfur. The President made the remark today in Germany at the G8 summit. He says he's frustrated that the international community hasn't done more to stop the violence there. Bush says he'll call on other G8 leaders to enact sanctions against the Sudanese government, which is something the...

Iranian Shahab 3B Missile test fire
The Iranian Shahab-3 [alternatively designated Zelzal (Earthquake)] missile is said to be a derivative of the 1,000-1,300 kilometer range North Korean Nodong-1. The Nodong missile was developed by North Korea with Iranian financial assistance. Around one year ago Iran claimed for the first time to have developed and produced a laser gyroscope INS system coupled with GPS as backup. With that guidance system, the Shahab-3B could archive an accuracy of around 30-50m CEP or even less. This new improved accuracy was apparently the reason why the warhead weight has been significantly decreased - to suggested 500kg. This, namely, is sufficient for pin-point target attack capability. Another reason for the 500kg warhead would be the improved range, which is reported to be meanwhile between 1.700...

South Korean President Response to North
Anna Chan: Today South Korea's president rebuffed the latest taunts from North Korea. President Lee Myung-bak is telling his communist neighbor to change its tone and get back to serious dialogue. In the past week, the North has hurled personal insults at President Lee Myung-bak, tested missiles and threatened to reduce the wealthy South to ashes. [Lee Myung-bak, S. Korean President]: "We propose that the two sides engage in sincere dialogue, and in order to do so, we believe the North has to move away from its previous ways and actions." Last week North Korea demanded South Korea's military chief apologize for his comment at Parliament in Seoul. He said South Korea would carry out a preemptive strike on potential North Korean nuclear facilities if North Korea shows signs of attacking...

North Korea Developing Nuclear Warhead
A top South Korean military official says he believes North Korea is trying to develop a nuclear warhead that can be delivered by its missiles. South Korea's Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman, Kim Tae-young, made the warning amid heightened tension over North Korea's move to restart its nuclear weapons program despite an agreement reached at six-party talks. Leta Hong Fincher has more.

Condi Rice Lies About Purpose of US Missile Defense Grid
After the U.S. and the Polish Government agreed to put 10 U.S. funded missile defense intercepters on Polish soil, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice denied that it had anything to do with Russia, saying instead that they were being put there to defend Poland against North Korea or Iran. The only problem with that, um, LIE, is that neither North Korea nor Iran have any missiles that can reach Poland, and even if they built some, Iran and North Korea don't have any political disagreements with Poland. So she's either lying here, or she's so incredibly mis-informed about international politics that she should resign from her post immediately. Clip is from the August 22, 2008 edition of Countdown with Keith Olbermann on MSNBC.
