[Key Points] North Korea's ‘third enrichment site’

Kusong claim disputed: South Korea’s unification minister named Kusong as a uranium site, citing an IAEA report, but experts say this remains unproven and contested. IAEA gap noted: The IAEA report cited did not mention Kusong. Thin evidence base: Claims largely trace to a 2016 report with little new corroboration; analysts urge caution in drawing conclusions. Nuclear activity ongoing: North Korea continues weapons development, extracting plutonium and expanding enrichment capacity at Yongbyon.
