NYT Investigation Accuses North Korea of Expanding Missile Program

HeadlineNov 13, 2018

The Times cited photos taken from the company DigitalGlobe, which appear to show activity around secretive mountain bases. But the photos cited by the Times and then widely reported elsewhere were in fact taken last March—about two-and-a-half months before North Korean leader Kim Jong-un met with President Trump in Singapore and pledged to disarm his nuclear arsenal.
