North Korea has been detected transferring several missiles out of a research facility in Pyongyang amid speculation of a possible test launch, South Korean media reported citing an unnamed intelligence source.

South Korea's national broadcaster KBS reported on Friday that South Korean and US intelligence officials spotted missiles being moved away from the Missile Research and Development Facility in Pyongyang, Reuters reports.

The center in the northern Pyongyang neighborhood of Sanum-dong is reportedly focused on the production of intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs).

The report did not shed light on the time and destination of the alleged transfer, saying that the missiles could be either intermediate range Hwasong-12 or intercontinental ballistic Hwasong-14. A source in South Korea's Defense Ministry could not confirm the details of the report to Reuters, or whether there have been any unusual activities going on in the area.

North Korea conducted its sixth nuclear test earlier this month. In recent weeks, it also launched a series of ballistic missiles. In the wake of the latest nuclear test, the UN Security Council introduced new sanctions against the country.

Angered by Pyongyang's latest missile launch, South Korean President Moon Jae-in warned that further provocations could result in complete destruction. He also ruled out the possibility of opening dialogue with the belligerent North. "In case North Korea undertakes provocations against us or our ally, we have the power to destroy (the North) beyond recovery,"the South Korean leader said on September 15, as cited by Yonhap news agency.

Moon spoke after North Korea launched a missile in mid-September that flew through Japanese airspace and landed in the Pacific Ocean around 2,000km east of Japan.

While Seoul still wants to use diplomatic means to solve the crisis on the Korean Peninsula and pressure Pyongyang into halting its nuclear and missile programs, it is also pushing for cooperation with Washington in the defense sphere.

In early September, the US agreed to lift the warhead weight limit on South Korean missiles. The limit set in a missile pact between Washington and Seoul was 500kg.

US President Donald Trump also gave "conceptual approval" for billions worth of US weapons to be sold to South Korea.

North Korea and the US have been ferociously exchanging barbs, threatening military responses in an escalating war of words.

In one of his latest statements on the crisis, the US leader said that Washington was prepared to strike North Korea if necessary with "devastating" consequences for the country.

Nearly five million young people have volunteered to join or re-enlist in the North Korean military to fight Washington, KCNA state news agency reported on Thursday. Earlier, North Korean leader Kim Jong-un vowed to "tame" US President Donald Trump "with fire."

	73 Syria government fighters killed in IS attacks: monitor AFPSeptember 29, 2017 Syrian government forces fighting the Islamic State group advance in Al-Shula on the outskirts of Deir Ezzor on September 8, 2017 (AFP Photo/George OURFALIAN) Beirut (AFP) - The Islamic State group has killed at least 73 Syrian government troops and allied fighters in surprise attacks on their positions in a desert region, a monitor said on Friday. The deaths came in Thursday attacks launched as the jihadist group faces a Russian-backed regime offensive against some of its last bastions. The extremist group claimed the attacks against several positions south of the town of Sukhna in central Homs province, saying its fighters had killed dozens of regime troops. The attacks come a day after IS released what it said was an audio recording of its leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the first in a year, in which he urged resistance. Syrian troops pushed through the vast desert that separates the main cities of the west from the Euphrates Valley this summer and broke an IS siege of nearly three years on government enclaves in the eastern city of Deir Ezzor earlier this month. Thursday's attacks targeted government forces around Deir Ezzor and on their supply lines through the Sukhna area from the west, the Observatory said. "The first attacks were carried out against checkpoints manned by loyalist troops in Al-Shula," a village near Deir Ezzor, the Britain-based monitoring group said. "IS then carried out a series of attacks against checkpoints along the length of the motorway from Al-Shula to south of Sukhna." Syrian state media made no mention of the army's losses, but said its troops "confronted an attack by the terrorist Daesh group on the highway between Deir Ezzor and Palmyra, deep in the Badia desert." State news agency SANA said the army had "inflicted heavy losses on the ranks of the terrorists", adding that units were "currently working to clear remaining Daesh terrorists from the area and secure the highway for traffic". The Observatory said at least 45 IS fighters had been killed in the fighting. The attacks by the jihadists came as they face multiple offensives against the last bastions of their self-proclaimed caliphate. In addition to the Russian-backed government offensive, a US-backed alliance of Kurdish and Arab fighters is battling the group, which is also under attack in neighbouring Iraq. (Yahoo News)

	Russian air strikes kill 2,000+ ISIS, Al-Nusra terrorists in Syria in 11 days – military (VIDEO) Published time: 30 Sep, 2017 13:40 Edited time: 30 Sep, 2017 18:27 © Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation Russian air strikes in Syria between September 19 and 29 resulted in the deaths of 2,359 militants with a further 2,700 or so wounded, the Russian Ministry of Defense has announced. 16 field commanders, and over 400 citizens from the former USSR are among the casualties. “Terrorist organizations Islamic State and Al-Nusra have sustained their most serious losses for the last several months. Due to the effective operations of the Russian forces, they have been seriously weakened,” said a statement from the ministry, released on Saturday. The ministry said that over 11 days Russian aircraft destroyed 67 militant outposts, 51 armories, 27 tanks, 21 rocket launchers and nearly 200 specialized vehicles belonging to the Islamist groups. The ministry said that the air strikes helped repel counter-offensives by militants in the provinces of Idlib and Deir ez-Zor. A region on the Iraqi border, Deir ez-Zor has seen some of the heaviest fighting anywhere in Syria over the past few months. “With help from the Russian Air Force, the Syrian army is currently completing the encirclement and destruction of a large Islamic State force, numbering about 1,500 fighters, which invaded from Iraq, in the eastern part of Deir ez-Zor,” said the ministry. September 30 marks the second anniversary of the Russian army’s involvement in the Syrian conflict, at the behest of the government of Bashar Assad. Moscow recently said that government forces have retaken control of 87 percent of the country's territory. (RT)

	09/30/2017 03:31 pm ET Updated 10 hours ago Retired Lieutenant General: While Trump Golfs, San Juan’s Mayor Is ‘Living On A Cot’ “And the president has shown again, you don’t give a damn about poor people.” By Sebastian Murdock The retired lieutenant general who led the effort to bring aid to Louisiana after it was ravaged by Hurricane Katrina didn’t mince words when talking about the president’s response to the humanitarian crisis in Puerto Rico. On Saturday morning, President Donald Trump unleashed a series of tweets taking aim at San Juan Mayor Carmen Yulín Cruz. In them, he accused Democrats of having convincedCruz to be “nasty” to him, called Cruz’s leadership “poor” and said that other leaders in Puerto Rico “want everything to be done for them.” The tweets were sent from his golf resort in Bedminster, New Jersey. In an interview with CNN later in the day, retired Lt. General Russel L. Honoré tore down Trump’s remarks: “The mayor’s living on a cot, and I hope the president has a good day at golf,” he told CNN. Follow CNN ✔@CNN Ret. Lt. Gen. Honoré on Trump tweets: “The mayor’s living on a cot and I hope the President has a good day at golf.”http://cnn.it/2x2TORk 10:21 AM - Sep 30, 2017 1,119 Replies 13,265 Retweets 23,470 likes Twitter Ads info and privacy Honoré said the crisis in Puerto Rico is even larger than what he faced during Katrina. “Is Puerto Rico worse than what you found here in Katrina?” CBS News correspondent Michelle Miller asked Honoré on Friday. “Oh, hell yeah,” Honore said. “The number one priority is saving lives and when you’re saving lives, you’ve gotta figure out what rules you’re gonna break. All the rules we live by are designed for peacetime.” “And this is what?” Miller asked. “This is like a war,” he said. Army Lt. Gen. Jeff Buchanan arrived on the island Thursday after being appointed by the Pentagon to lead the relief effort there. So far, approximately 4,400 troops are on the island, he told CNBC Friday. He added that more are arriving to help, but it’s still not enough. “Our capacity is growing but that doesn’t mean that we’re getting all the right help to the people who need it,” Buchanan said. “For me, Harvey was monumental in Texas because of the amount of flood damage,” Buchanan added. “But the impact here is completely different. It’s like an atomic bomb went off. With all of the wind impact knocking down trees, electrical lines ― it’s just a very different disaster.” Honoré said the military response to the 3.5 million people without power and supplies should have happened much sooner. “Not giving the mission to the military” was the first mistake, Honoré said in his interview with CBS. “Look, we got Army units that go do port openings. Not called. We got special forces that could’ve been in every town. Not employed.” In another interview with CNN, Honoré tied Trump’s response to a overall lack of compassion to marginalized people. “And the president has shown again, you don’t give a damn about poor people,” Honoré told CNN. “You don’t give a damn about people of color and the SOB that rides around in Air Force One is denying services needed by the people of Puerto Rico.” The president’s slow response to the humanitarian crisis has been widely criticized in recent days. On Saturday morning, “Hamilton” creator Lin-Manuel Miranda slammed Trumpfor attacking the San Juan mayor from his personal golf course while people in Puerto Rico suffer. “[Mayor Cruz] has been working 24/7. You have been GOLFING,” Miranda wrote in a tweet. “You’re going straight to hell.” (huffingtonpost.com)
