North Korea’s nuclear test site appears “primed and ready” to conduct a trial, according to a U.S. research institute that monitors the country.
Commercial satellite imagery from April 12 shows activity at the Punggye-ri test site northeast of Pyongyang, analysts wrote on the 38 North website. That includes movement around the north portal and in the main administrative area, as well as some personnel around the command center, according to the website run by the U.S.-Korea Institute at Johns Hopkins University’s School of Advanced International Studies.
