Two Pyongyang metro stations were recently reopened following large-scale renovations, North Korea’s top newspaper the Rodong Sinmun reported over the weekend, following upgrades to two other stations last year.

The two newly-renovated stations, Jonsung and Jonu, are located close together at the entrance to Ryomyong Street in the city’s northeast, and represent the only direct transfer point between Pyongyang’s two metro lines.

A push to modernize Pyongyang’s ageing metro system began with Kaeson Station near the Arch of Triumph reopening in May 2019, and Thongil Station near Mansudae Hill later in the year.
