A satellite photo shows North Korea presumably filching products from the closed inter-Korean industrial complex in its border city of Kaesong, a US broadcaster reported Tuesday.
The photo, taken on Nov. 30, 2017, by DigitalGlobe, also displays the moves of vehicles and people that were unseen before, clear signs of the North's unauthorized use of the complex, Voice of America said. DigitalGlobe is an American commercial space imagery vendor.
In February 2016, the South Korean government shut down the industrial park in response to the North's fourth nuclear and long-range missile tests. The North, in turn, banished all South Koreans there. Launched in 2004, the factory park is a combination of 124 South Korean companies and 54,000 North Korean workers.
According to the photo, a 13-meter-long truck was parked in front of a factory located at the center of the complex. The truck is believed to be used in loading or unloading goods as its location leads to a passage to the inside of the factory, the broadcaster said.
