North Korea has reportedly completed dismantlement of an assembly facility for intercontinental ballistic missiles(ICBM) built near Pyongyang.

The Voice of America reports Thursday that the ICBM factory shows no trace of shadow from a high-rise structure or other markers in satellite imagery provided by Planet Labs.

However, Nick Hansen, an analyst at the Center for International Security and Cooperation at Stanford University, said that considering how the same facility was previously dismantled and rebuilt in just a couple of days, it remains to be seen if it has been completely and irreversibly decommissioned.
