#1 As per WORLD NEWS + TOPIX , Jong-un = DPRK may be secretly stashing a second Space Rocket???
Also, SAMe > US ANALYSTS = believe that the DPRK's Missle Launchers don't work, which has led a number of MilBloggers to ask how, iff true, whose "Space Rocket" [Iran? Al-Qaeda? Other?]did the DPRK launch as its own.

#2 Well, it's not as if the launch were successful.

#3 Thanks to its missile and nuclear proliferation to its proxies, China gets another neighbor arming itself with missiles.

#4 Oh, and in a side note, I found this handy chart:
Vladivostok is farther than any location in S. Korea, and still only uses half the Hyunmu-3's range.
This missile's range is almost far enough to reach Mongolia.

#5 Thing.
Given the geography of the region, ROK ought not keep anything in Seoul, including Seoul.
It's an interesting starting point for your exercise, but someplace in the mountains a bit further south might be safer from a commando raid by sleepers or something, or being destroyed by Nork's ten thousand gun tubes and rocket launchers in the first three minutes.
For grins, look up "redleg rumba". That rate of fire is too fast for sustained fire, but if you want steel on target and don't care about the barrel, you could put a lot of bad on a target the size of a city--which means you don't have to check and if necessary redeflect and elevate--in a couple of minutes. Ten thousand of them....
