NORTH KOREA ISN'T DISMANTLING MISSILE FACILITIES, SATELLITE IMAGERY REVEALS
There is no visible indication that North Korea has begun dismantling missile launch sites as reportedly promised, according to satellite imagery shared by 38 North.
The program, hosted by the U.S.-Korea Institute at Johns Hopkins University's School of Advanced International Studies, analyzed and posted imagery of the known locations of North Koreas missile launch facilities on Thursday and Friday. According to the analysis, 38 North reported that it could not identify any activity associated with the dismantlement at any testing sites.
There are six known launch and engine testing facilities as well as two eject test stands scattered throughout North Korea.
"Of these facilities and test stands, it is likely that President [Donald] Trumps comment on June 12 regarding the destruction of a '
major missile engine testing site' was not referring to either the Iha-ri test standwhich was razed in Mayor the Sinpo South Shipyard test stand that has not been used in approximately a year. And contrary to the presidents statement, both sites have been solely used for ejection tests, not engine tests or launches," the report indicated.
