“Significant tunneling” has been detected at North Korea’s Punggye-ri nuclear test site, according to a Washington-based think tank specializing in tracking the Hermit Kingdom's activities. Satellite images from December show increasing efforts to maintain the test site where North Korea has conducted the last six underground nuclear tests, claims a report Thursday by 38 North. News of a tunnel reportedly crumbling at the nuclear site in October – likely because of the country's sixth and most powerful nuclear test in September, which potentially killed 200 people -- sparked a lot of speculation about the site's future. The report concludes that such activities “underscore North Korea’s continued efforts to maintain the Punggye-ri site’s potential for future nuclear testing.”News of apparent active nuclear test site comes just days after North Korean officials met with South Korean officials for the first time in more than two years. The communist regime in the North has long been boasting about the continuing development of nuclear weapons and its strike capabilities.
