North Korea has secret underground facilities at nuke sites, new images show in 38 North report

New satellite imagery of locations at a North Korean missile site released last week has revealed secret underground facilities.

A report by monitoring group 38 North produced satellite images which identified two tunnel entrances at the Yongbyon Nuclear Scientific Research Center – the site considered the heart of North Korea’s nuclear program — confirming long-held speculations about underground facilities at the site.

Researchers have been studying North Korean missile sites and have suspected that the rogue nation has maintained secret uranium enrichment facilities, and that some of these facilities may be hidden underground.

“While it is impossible to remotely discern their purposes, their location within Yongbyon’s security perimeter and subsequent camouflaging qualify them as subjects of interest for future inspection teams,” 38 North analyst Frank Pabian wrote.
