Reports have recently noted a lack of progess in North Korea's denuclearization.
But it seems Pyongyang is now taking steps to follow through on the promises Kim Jong-un made in Singapore.
U.S.-based North Korea monitoring website 38 North said Monday that... new commercial satellite imagery show the regime has started dismantling key facilities at its Sohae Satellite Launching Station -- an important part of its ICBM program.
The facilities include a rail-mounted processing building used to assemble space launch vehicles.
Also, a test stand used for developing liquid-fueled rocket engines.
38 North says the move is significant.
The launching station is believed to be the one Kim Jong-un had promised President Trump he'd take down.
South Korea says it sees the move as part of the North's step-by-step denuclearization process.
