Four South Korean reporters left for North Korea on Monday to cover the demolition of its nuclear test site.

The steps are being taken to close down the Punggye-ri test site, where North Korea carried out six nuclear tests, Yonhap reported.

Ahead of meeting between N Korea leader Kim Jong-un and U.S. President Donald Trump in June, North Korea vowed that it would close its nuclear test site and halt nuclear weapons and missile tests.

The North Korea has invited journalists from South Korea, the United States, China, Russia and Britain to attend the ceremony which is to take place somewhere between May 23 and 25.

 

It said that foreign journalists will be traveling in a charter flight from Beijing to Wonsan and will be offered a special train to the nuclear test site.
