NK PLEDGES TO DESTROY MISSILE SITE

Washington, June 22: The Trump administration on Thursday identified the missile test engine site that it says North Korea has pledged to destroy, but the president’s latest comments on resolving the nuclear standoff raised new questions about concessions Pyongyang has made.

President Donald Trump had said on June 12 after his summit with Kim Jong Un that the North Korean leader was “already destroying” a missile site.

The testing site in question is in Ch'olsan County, North Pyongan, and is sometimes is referred to as the Sohae Satellite Launching Ground, according to an administration official. The official, who wasn’t authorized to discuss the issue, would not answer questions about whether the site was already being destroyed, but said that as negotiations moved forward, the US will monitor the area where North Korea tested propellant engines for missiles.
