A report by US-based Radio Free Asia suggests that North Korea has constructed multiple storage and maintenance facilities for multiple rocket launchers near the inter-Korean border, based on commercial satellite imagery analyzed between 2023 and 2025. The facilities, located approximately 50 kilometers from Seoul and near the DMZ, include 21 elongated buildings with features suitable for housing transporter erector launchers (TELs) and multiple rocket launcher systems. While no TELs or launchers were directly visible in the images, analysts note the expansion indicates increased activity. The DMZ, established as a buffer zone after the 1953 armistice, remains a sensitive area with ongoing military developments.
