North Korean ICBM assembly facility in Pyongsong dismantled: VOA News
- 6 years ago
We start with what could be a fresh sign that North Korea is dismantling MORE of its missile-related facilities... as part of its denuclearization agreement with the United States.
VOA News reports that satellite images from a U.S.-based Earth imaging company, Planet, shows a facility used to assemble parts for the regime's ICBM arsenal has been torn down.
The facility, which used to be in a car factory in the northwestern city of Pyongsong, was still in one piece until late last month, but had disappeared in the satellite image taken last Friday.
But considering how the same facility was previously dismantled and rebuilt in just a couple of days, it remains to be seen if it has been completely and irreversibly razed.
This report comes a matter of days after North Korea-monitoring website 38 North released satellite images that appear to show the North has dismantled its Sohae Satellite Launching Station in Pyonganbuk-do Province.
