From the Daily Caller:

The base, which has not been declared to exist by Pyongyang, is located in North Korea, roughly 17 miles from their shared border with China and likely housing multiple Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles (ICBM) capable of reaching the US mainland and beyond, according to a CSIS analysis of open-source data. North Korea has operated 15 to 20 such bases to bolster its nuclear arsenal and has repeatedly threatened the West and its allies with strikes should it ever perceive a threat to its national security.

“Current assessments are that during times of crisis or war, these launchers and missiles will exit the base, meet special warhead storage/transportation units, and conduct launch operations from dispersed pre-surveyed sites,” the report reads.

The base is reportedly over a decade old. Construction began in 2004 and the facility became operation in 2014.

North Korea is estimated to have around 50 nuclear weapons with the potential to make 70-90 more. And, according to the Missile Defense Advocacy Alliance, the nation’s ICBMs can travel up to 15,000 kilometers, which is far enough to reach Washington, D.C.

As North Korea continues to threaten the U.S. and other nations, let’s pray. Let’s ask God to soften the hearts of this nation’s leaders, and let’s pray for protection all foreign threats!
