Int'l reporters leave North Korea after covering demolition of Punggye-ri nuke test site
  • 6 years ago
The group of international reporters who traveled to North Korea this week to observe the demolition of the regime's Punggye-ri nuclear test site arrived back in Beijing this afternoon.
The Air Koryo plane carrying the journalists from South Korea, the U.S., U.K., China and Russia departed Kalma Airport in Wonsan on Saturday at 11AM Korea time.
The reporters told South Korea's Yonhap News Agency that the North did not attempt to censor or edit any of their on-camera reports.
The reporters also confirmed the series of explosions took place, but they couldn't say whether it meant the site was now permanently out of service as they aren't nuclear experts.
