The ‘undeclared’ Sinpung-dong missile operating base is just 27km from the border with China, report by US thinktank says
North Korea has built a secret military base near its border with China which may house Pyongyang’s newest long-range ballistic missiles, according to new research.
The “undeclared” Sinpung-dong missile operating base lies about 27km (17 miles) from the Chinese frontier, the Washington-based thinktank Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) said in a report published on Wednesday.
The facility in North Pyongan province likely houses six to nine nuclear-capable intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs) and their launchers, the study said.
Their ICBMs are not what American and Soviet ICBMs are/were. Best I could find was 2,800 miles, only a threat to Asia.

Wikipedia puts “ICBM” range at a minimum of 3,400 miles.
But you’re right, who gives a damn where in NK the base is. As unreliable as their tests have been, though getting better!, a few hundred miles north or south, meh.
