SEOUL, Aug. 24 (Yonhap) -- North Korea has deployed amphibious landing crafts carrying special forces to the frontline as the country keeps up its tight combat readiness despite on-going inter-Korean talks to defuse military tension, military sources said Monday.

About 10 North Korean air-cushioned landing crafts have left their home base in Cholsan, North Pyongan Province, and come forward to a naval base, located about 60 kilometers north of the Northern Limit Line, the de facto inter-Korean border in the Yellow Sea, the sources said.

"Since North Korea declared a semi-war state, its invasion vehicles and forces have been actively moving," one of the sources said.

No joke, they report this as if it's significant. That's 10 tubes and 2 trucks worth of guys.

They're on the subs.


Probably plugging holes.


Best Korea's navy really isn't a problem. Actually, Best Korea's only real assets are a lot of people and a shitload of artillery.


Also, yeah, just a stock photo. But my guess is that's what passes for 'amphibious landing craft' in Best Korea.

Anyone else listening to shortwave radio from our troops in SK? I also have YTN (South Korea news) and KCA (North Korea's News Channel) pulled up.

Next thing I would watch for is report of increased activity at DPRK hovercraft boat bases that could indicate on going preparations.


His twitter has been on point.

According to a source, the US has been flying some of its non-combat people from Korea to Japan today.

I was mistaken by the way, talks haven't ended for the day... so this is 16+ hours so far today alone.

Likely we will see reports that artillery emplacements opposite the border islands move into firing positions of readiness soon.

Most of the ones deployed are likely Sang-O, with the one Sinpo possibly complete. It is the only one that can fire a ballistic missile.

I think it's time for SK to up the ante and put up a giant screen to show The Interview.
