North Korea’s Punggye-ri Nuclear Test Site: Minor Cleanup Activity
Recent commercial satellite imagery of North Korea’s Punggye-ri nuclear test site shows some partial site cleanup, possibly including reclamation and removal of wood from the buildings demolished last May as part of the site’s closure. Most of this activity has taken place within the Main Administrative Support Area, the Central Command Center compound and the adjacent security barracks area.
The old access road leading to the original East Portal area (Tunnel #1, where the 2006 nuclear test was conducted), which has been abandoned since just after the 2006 test, remains blocked by landslides preventing vehicle access. Should outside inspections of Punggye-ri take place, access to that portal to verify its closure would likely be gained from the South Portal area (about 1,300 meters away).
Main Administrative Support Area
While no activity was noted at the North, West and South Portal areas, commercial satellite imagery from October indicates a slight decrease in two accumulations of what is most likely reclaimed lumber from demolished buildings within the lower courtyard of the Main Administrative Support Area.

False Reports In U.S. Media Suggest A Great Deception
The New York Times is lying to its readers about the commitments of an adversarial state. It did not learn a single lesson from its fake reporting that led the Iraq War. It again furthers hostile aggression. In a piece published today, In North Korea, Missile Bases Suggest a Great Deception, the paper lies about North Korea's commitments:
North Korea is moving ahead with its ballistic missile program at 16 hidden bases that have been identified in new commercial satellite images, a network long known to American intelligence agencies but left undiscussed as President Trump claims to have neutralized the North’s nuclear threat.
The satellite images suggest that the North has been engaged in a great deception: It has offered to dismantle a major launching site — a step it began, then halted — while continuing to make improvements at more than a dozen others that would bolster launches of conventional and nuclear warheads.
There is no North Korean deception. It agreed to dismantle a missile test site, not an operative "launching site", and it agreed to a moratorium of nuclear and missile testing. Nowhere has it made any commitment to stop productions or deployments of missiles.
The Singapore Declaration Kim Jong-un and Donald Trump signed says nothing about ballistic missiles. It agrees on four step to be taken in sequence: 1. establish new US-DPRK relations, 2. build a lasting and stable peace regime in all of Korea, 3. support of the Panmunjom Declaration between North and South Korea, 4. North Korea commits "to work toward complete denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula".
There is no public or secret commitment by North Korea to stop its production of ballistic missiles just as there is not commitment by the United States to stop its continuing arms buildup.REST pic 5
