The Center for Strategic and International Studies used satellite imagery to locate the undeclared ballistic-missile bases.
The think-tank says it believes North Korea is maintaining more than a dozen sites.
International nuclear experts quickly rebuked media criticism that leader Kim Jong-un is breaking promises he made during summits this year.
Referencing one of the bases, a Seoul government official said Kim never mentioned that base or promised to shut it down.
The official said there's no deception. If anything, he added, this is a sign talks are needed to end North Korea's military threat.
