A Russian train carrying tourists departed for North Korea for the first time in four years, according to the Russian customs service, less than a month after a local governor announced the resumption of rail traffic in mid-May.
“After a four-year break, Ussuriysk customs officers processed the first passenger train to leave for North Korea,” the Federal Customs Service announced on its official Telegram channel.
