NORTH KOREA appears to have started dismantling a nuclear missile launch site, fulfilling Kim Jong Un’s commitment during the Singapore summit.
Commercial satellite images taken between July 20 to 22 showed that Pyongyang had begun the process of disassembling key facilities at the Sohae launch site.
This included a rocket engine test stand used to develop liquid-fuel engines for ballistic missiles and space-launch vehicles and a rail-mounted processing building where space launch vehicles were assembled before being moved to the launch pad.
