North Korea begins dismantling Sohae Satellite Launching Station: 38 North
  • 6 years ago
Recently, we've been hearing reports about the lack of progress on denuclearizing North Korea,.. but it seems Pyongyang is taking steps to follow through on its promise made during the Singapore summit with the U.S.
U.S.-based North Korea monitoring website 38 North said on Monday that... new commercial satellite imagery of the Sohae Satellite Launching Station,.. which is the regime's main satellite launch facility,... shows the North has started dismantling key facilities.
They include,... the rocket engine rail-mounted processing building, where parts for space vehicles are assembled.
Considering that those facilities are important parts of the regime's ICBM program,.... 38 North says.... such efforts are a significant step by North Korea.
The launching station is believed to be the one North Korea promised U.S. President Donald Trump that it would take down during the June 12th summit.
South Korea says it sees the move as part of the North's step-by-step process towards denuclearization.
