The location of the command center was found after Yonhap managed to analyze satellite images taken by Google Earth last September. The complex is about 400 meters away from one of luxurious homes of the North Korean leader.

Yonhap concluded that the close proximity of the command center complex shows Kim's active involvement in North Korea's long-range missile development program. The South Korean news agency also speculated that North Korea is planning a missile launch this October.
