North Korea has continued to build up infrastructure around one of its nuclear facilities, according to analysis based on satellite images. This is despite the agreement signed by North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un and President Donald Trump that stated North Korea “commits to work toward complete denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula.”
The website 38 North, which provides analysis of developments in North Korea, published a report on June 26 showing that Pyongyang is rapidly building a cooling system and a new structure at the Yongbyon Nuclear Scientific Research Center.
