A South Korean border observatory facing North Korea flicked on the lights to a large-scale Christmas display over the weekend, nearly a decade after suspending a similar holiday installation that Pyongyang denounced as an “unpardonable provocation.”

Gimpo City held a ceremony on Christmas Eve to turn on the lights at Aegibong Peace Park, located around 20 km northeast of Seoul. The lights illuminate a staircase leading up to the observatory in the shape of a Christmas tree.
