North Korea looks set to destroy its only known nuclear test site in front of international journalists probably later Thursday, given their itinerary and local weather conditions.
A group of reporters and television crews from South Korea, the United States, China, Russia and Britain are apparently still on their way to the remote northeastern area of Punggye-ri after leaving Wonsan, an eastern port city, by train Wednesday evening.
The train left Wonsan at around 7 p.m. for a journey expected to take 11-12 hours to be followed by a four-hour bus ride and a more than an hour mountain hike to the venue, according to a pool report sent by South Korean journalists there Wednesday night. There has been no update yet.
