New activity observed at North Korea's Punggye-ri nuclear test site

Recent satellite imagery of the Punggye-ri Nuclear Test Facility in North Korea shows new activity at the site, Report informs, citing the US Center for Strategic and International Studies.

The road leading to the collapsed portal for Tunnel No. 4 has been completed, and two new small buildings have recently been constructed in front of the collapsed portal.

A clear view of the portal to Tunnel No. 3 shows cables running from two nearby structures into the portal. There is water drainage from the portal, which is expected as the tunnel is sloped.

There is no activity at the collapsed Tunnels No. 1 and 2.

Although the recently observed activity is not a strong indication of imminent testing, the long-anticipated seventh nuclear test will almost assuredly take place at the Punggye-ri Nuclear Test Facility.
