All Is Quiet at North Korea’s Punggye-ri Nuclear Test Facility: Report

All Is Quiet at North Korea's Punggye-ri Nuclear Test Facility: ReportEighteen months after North Korea shut down its Punggye-ri nuclear test facility, there has been no major observable activity at the site.But the regime of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un clearly is maintaining Punggye-ri and could reactivate the site with little notice.North Korea likewise hasn’t tested a longer-range ballistic missile — the kind that could carry a nuke over great distance — since late 2017. That testing-halt, like the ongoing shuttering of Punggye-ri, could be temporary.“Commercial satellite imagery from early July indicates that, while the Punggye-ri nuclear test site has not been abandoned, there is no activity around the test tunnels (portals) or command center,” Frank Pabian and Jack Liu reported for 38 North, a think tank that’s part of the Stimson Center in Washington, D.C.“Personnel movement around the main administrative support area has been evident including indications that vegetables are being grown in the greenhouse area,” Pabian and Liu continued. “While no activity has been observed around the command center, the area continues to be well-maintained since the test site was shut down in May 2018.”While North Korea has not signalled it will give up its roughly 50 nuclear warheads nor dismantle the medium- and long-range missiles that can carry the warheads, Kim’s regime has made some conciliatory gestures.In April 2018 it announced it would halt the testing of longer-range missiles and also suspend warhead trials at Punggye-ri. North Korea has conducted all six of its nuclear tests at the site in the country’s northeast. It tested its first atomic weapon in 2006. Its last and most powerful trial occurred in September 2017.
