Inside North Korea’s base hidden in forest that could launch missiles at US

Just 27 kilometres away from its border with China, North Korea has a secret missile base in Singpung. This facility, which is larger than New York’s John F Kennedy International Airport, is rumoured to house six to nine of the country’s most advanced intercontinental ballistic missiles. These projectiles have a range of as far as 13,000 km, posing a ‘nuclear threat’ to the United States and East Asia
