Activity Reported at North Korean Taepo-dong Missile Site

May 19, 2006 :: News

North Korea has transported a Taepo-dong missile to a base in northeastern North Korea, reports Japan’s Kyodo news agency. U.S. and South Korean satellites captured movements of trailers carrying a “missile-like object” over 30 meters in length to a test site at Musudan-ri, Hwadae-gun, in the North Hamgyong Province. The missile is said to be most likely a Taepo-dong-2, 32 meters long with a range of between 4,300 and 6,000 km. There is the possibility that the missile could be the longer-range Taepo-dong-2 upgrade that could be capable of striking Alaska.
