North Korea to hold ceremony for dismantling of nuclear test site

North Korea said it will hold a "ceremony" for the dismantling of its nuclear test site from May 23-25 in what would be a dramatic but symbolic event to set up leader Kim Jong Un's summit with US President Donald Trump next month.

North Korea's foreign ministry said all of the tunnels at the country's north-eastern testing ground would be destroyed by explosion, and that observation and research facilities and ground-based guard units would also be removed.
