Recent satellite imagery suggests that North Korea is rebuilding a nuclear test site. This comes one week after the second US-NK summit. If you recall, Trump bounced early. The two didn’t make a deal.

Experts say they see evidence that workers are rebuilding at the Sohae Satellite Launching Station. In a matter of days, a rocket-engine test stand and a large transfer structure have been reassembled, according to Joseph S. Bermudez Jr., a senior fellow for imagery analysis at the Center for Strategic and International Studies. The structures were taken down over the course of last summer, Bermudez says, and reassembled in a matter of days.
“We’ve seen a remarkably quick rebuilding,” he says.
The White House isn’t issuing any major remarks. Sarah Sanders repeated what Trump has already said. “We’ll see what happens…”
It’s definitely something to keep an eye on.
