South Korea has spotted a new and larger long range missile sitting on the launch pad in North Korea.
This missile is also bigger than the others..so this could be interesting.

So, I do wonder...are there any surprises here? This would be an interesting time for it, with so much going on in the world. I suppose a launch of anything will get the DPRK attention, anyway.
A new missile, an anonymous intelligence source said, has been placed upon the primary rocket launch pad at the Sohae Satellite Launching Station – also known as Tongchang-ni or Tonchang-dong – in Cholsan County, North Pyongan Province.
The site is adjacent to the Korea Bay, part of the Yellow Sea (known in Korea as the West Sea) between Korea and China

The recently positioned missile – possibly the Unha-9 of which North Korea displayed models in mid-2013 – is an estimated 60 meters long and about twice the size of the Unha-3, which is 32 meters.
The larger size likely means this missile is capable of achieving greater range than the Unha-3 and may also be able to carry a larger payload.
