Russia and North Korea appear to have resumed trade over a rail link that had been suspended for almost three years due Covid-19, according to satellite imagery, in the latest sign of warming ties between the neighbors.
Goods were delivered from Russia to North Korea in late November and early December, 38 North said in report published late Monday. Unloaded cargo was spotted at least twice on the North Korean side and expanded freight handling at a station there suggested preparation for greater volume, the group said.
