Imagery points to work to conceal new infrastructure at sprawling compound in Pyongyang, in sign of more testing to come

North Korea appears to be building more camouflaged missile launchpads near Kim family mansions in Pyongyang that have been used for multiple past missile tests, according to NK Pro analysis of satellite imagery, in a sign of more weapons testing to come this year.

The activity follows a trend of DPRK leader Kim Jong Un building garden-themed launchpads, either in an attempt to fool adversaries or simply improve the scenery, as he oversees a long list of missile development goals he aims to have completed by the end of this year.
