BEIJING, July 23 (Xinhuanet) -- South Korea's defense ministry says it is closely monitoring the Democratic of People's Republic of Korea after reports that it was upgrading a missile tower.
South Korea's Yonhap News agency reported that the DPRK had erected a new, taller launch tower at its missile base. The 67-meter tower would be able to accommodate the launch of a longer-range missile than the rocket test-fired in December 2012.
Yonhap quoted a South Korean government source as saying the newly upgraded Tongchang-ri launch pad would most likely be used around the 70th anniversary of the founding of the DPRK's ruling Workers' Party on October 10.
