N. Korea (Recently) Made 3~4 ICBM’s.

Ammunition supply to its navy and shore artilleries in West Sea(Yellow Sea) doubled.. practicing blitz amphibious landing.

N. Korea had produced 3~4 ICBM-class missiles(or rockets) by the end of last year. This implies that N. Korea could have one or two more long-range missiles in addition to the rocket launched last April, and the one now moved to the new Dongchang-ri test launch site. In a related development, N. Korea is said to have recently instructed its navy in West Sea(Yellow Sea) to more than double its ammunition supply, and its military is practicing blitz amphibious landing, and other activities, indicating that they are gearing up for (military) provocation.

“N.Korea prepares ballistic test, boosts military on west coast”
RIA Novosti

SNIPPET: “12:0601/06/2009 MOSCOW, June 1 (RIA Novosti) - North Korea has transported an intercontinental ballistic missile to a new launch site, and has ordered troops on its west coast to double ammunition stocks, South Korea’s Yonhap agency said on Monday.

The agency cited an anonymous South Korean intelligence official as saying vehicle activity to and from military bases along the west coast has increased.

The report follows last week’s sighting of an intercontinental ballistic missile on a cargo train in the reclusive communist state.

The official said North Korea’s military is believed to have moved a missile to its new launch site in Dongchang-ri, in the North Pyongan Province, and could launch it later this month.

“We believe the North could launch the missile at any time after one or two weeks,” he said.

Other South Korean media reports said the rocket is a version of the Taepodong-2 missile fired on April 5, when the North claimed to be launching a satellite.”
