North Korea has said, it will start dismantling its nuclear test site between 23rd and 25th of this month. The site is located in a northeastern part of the country.
Foreign Ministry officials said the complete tunnel complex used for nuclear testing will be destroyed. This will be followed by the removal of all observation facilities and closing off the whole area. The officials also said, a ceremony will be held where international media will observe the dismantling.
North Korea’s leader Kim Jong Un told his South Korean counterpart last month that the site would be abandoned within this month.
Meanwhile, US President Donald Trump has thanked North Korea after it pledged to destroy its nuclear test site ahead of a summit meeting between the two country’s leaders next month.
