North Korea has begun dismantling a 12-story hotel on the east coast used for inter-Korean family reunions and owned by the ROK government, according to NK Pro analysis of satellite imagery, months after starting to take down some nearby buildings.

Planet Labs imagery shows the work at the Inter-Korean Family Reunions Center (이산가족면회소) in Kumgang started between May 26 and 30, sending a signal that Pyongyang would maintain anti-ROK policies despite the likelihood that South Korea would elect a new pro-engagement president days later.

Dismantlement continued on the appropriated building after Lee Jae-myung won the June 3 election and
