[Iran Press TV] South Korean media say the North has been detected transferring several missiles out of a research facility in its capital amid speculations of a new test launch by Pyongyang.Citing an unidentified intelligence source, the Korean Broadcasting System (KBS) reported late Friday that South Korean and US intelligence authorities spotted missiles being moved away from the Missile Research and Development Facility in Pyongyang.
The facility, located in the northern Pyongyang neighborhood of Sanum-dong, has been dedicated to the production of intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs).
The report did not, however, mention time and target location of the alleged transfer, speculating that the missiles could be either intermediate range Hwasong-12 or intercontinental ballistic Hwasong-14.
Moreover, Rooters also cited a source from the South Korean Defense Ministry as saying that he could not confirm the details of the report, and whether there have even been any unusual activities in the specified area.
Authorities in Seoul have raised concerns that Pyongyang could carry out more provocative acts marking the anniversary of the founding of the country’s communist party on October 10, or possibly when China holds its Communist Party Congress on October 18.
