Satellite images show goods from Russia appear to be piling up in a North Korean railyard, about a month after trains were reported crossing the border for the first time since the pandemic began, a U.S.-based think-tank said on Monday.
38 North, which monitors North Korea, said imagery of the Tumangang station from late November and early December shows the resumption of trade between Russia and North Korea is well underway.
"The expanded freight handling area at Tumangang also indicates that North Korea anticipates an increased volume of goods compared to pre-COVID years and could become a more important partner in the future," the report said.
