North Korea says it dismantled nuclear test site: Reports

Journalists from around the world flew from Beijing to Wonsan, on the east coast of North Korea, Tuesday and were taken on a long journey to the nuclear site near the village of Punggye-ri.
North Korean state media previously reported the dismantlement process will involve "collapsing all of its tunnels with explosions, blocking its entrances and removing all observation facilities, research buildings and security posts" and that foreign media were invited to cover the event to show the process in a "transparent manner."
The apparent dismantlement came just hours after the country threatened to pull out of the planned summit with the U.S. over remarks from Vice President Mike Pence, who compared North Korea to Libya, which abandoned its nuclear program early on in hopes of striking a deal with the US only to have its leader ousted[5] and killed years later.

"We will neither beg the U.S. for dialogue nor take the trouble to persuade them if they do not want to sit together with us."
