More progress in dismantlement of key facilities at Pyongyang's missile test site: 38 North
- 6 years ago
North Korea seems to be taking further steps in dismantling its main nuclear test site.... with additional dismantlement observed at the Sohae Satellite Launching Station.
Citing satellite imagery from last Friday,.... U.S.-based North Korea monitoring website 38 North says... Pyongyang is ripping down the steel base structure of the vertical engine test stand.... used for developing missile engines.
Images also show that North Korea is removing walls at the transfer structure on the launch pad used to support rocket launches.
38 North adds,... work on the engine test stand shows North Korean leader Kim Jong-un is respecting the promise made to President Trump in Singapore... and that work on the launch pad goes beyond that commitment.
However,... it says.... these developments should still be seen as (QUOTE-UNQUOTE) "first steps".... as they could be reversed quickly.
