North Korea will dismantle its Punggye-ri nuclear testing site between the 23rd and 25th of this month, the country's foreign ministry announced in a statement carried by the Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) on Saturday.
The country has also reportedly begun taking "technical measures" to decommission Punggye-ri, and, due to limited space, will allow only journalists from South Korea, the U.S., the UK, and Russia to cover its dismantling.
