North Korea has removed the remnants of an inter-Korean liaison office it blew up four years ago, a development one expert saw as further evidence of Kim Jong Un’s recent push to distance the country from past engagement with South Korea. 

Satellite images captured by Planet Labs show that North Korea almost entirely cleared the area where the remnants of the liaison office were in an inter-Korean industrial complex at Kaesong from December to January, with much of the work taking place in December.
