North Korea destroys nuclear test site, ‘A huge explosion, you could feel it’
Ahead of the planned June 12 summit between its supreme leader Kim Jong-un and United States President Donald Trump, North Korea on Thursday demolished its nuclear test site.
North Korea said on Thursday that it had destroyed its only known nuclear test site, three weeks before its leader, Kim Jong-un, is scheduled to meet with President Trump.
Pyongyang has said that it would "completely" dismantle the Punggye-ri nuclear test facility located in the northeast.
North Korea allowed a select group of journalists from Britain, China, Russia, South Korea and the United States to watch its engineers destroy and close tunnels in its mountainous Punggye-ri test site, where the country has conducted all six of its nuclear tests.
The action came two days after Mr. Trump backed away from his demand that Mr. Kim completely abandon his nuclear arsenal without any reciprocal American concessions.
