POTENTIAL SIGNS OF DE-NUCLEARIZATION IN NORTH KOREA: Satellite images show North Korea has begun dismantling its main satellite launch facility in an apparent confidence-building measure amid concerns about the slow pace of progress in its promise to denuclearize, the Wall Street Journal reports … North Korea, the Journal reports, has begun to demolish its rocket engine test stand and a related building at the Sohae Satellite Launching Station, the country’s primary rocket launch site for rockets since 2012, according to new imagery published Monday by North Korea-focused website 38 North. The move hasn’t yet been announced by North Korea’s state media, but is an alleged follow-up on a promise that President Donald Trump said was made during his June 12 summit with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un in Singapore.
