"Up to 60" was speculated long ago. Only news is that south Korea agrees with this assessment publicly.
Also...notice that north Korea musst declare actual number in next step. This release by south Korea might be an attempt to check north Koreas sincerity. They might have more and we might know about it. If they lie about the number, we will try to catch them in that lie.
