The international reporters departed from Wonsan last night, and are now on their way to the Punggye-ri nuclear test site.
If the weather is good, according to what the North had said before, the dismantling of the test site is expected to be held sometime today.
For more, let's connect live to Lee Ji-won, part of South Korea's Joint Press Corps for Punggye-ri.

Semin, the reporters left the east coast city of Wonsan at around 7 p.m. last night,... and it's expected to take around 12 hours to get to Jaedok station, near the entrance to the massive test site. So we're guessing that they got off the train this morning and are now on their 4-hour bus ride,.. up a dirt road to the Mount Mantap valley, after which there is still a 2-hour hike to the site. It's been said that the reporters will not have internet connection at the site or en route, so we're unsure which stage of the journey they are on.
And that also means, that we will have to wait until the reporters get back to their press center in Wonsan, probably on Friday, to have stories or footage of the dismantling of the site.
We still haven't been notified when the dismantling will take place, but with clear skies expected in Punggye-ri today, hopefully it will be carried out later in the afternoon.
But there are a number of interesting things the reporters have delivered via various means.
According to the Associated Press, one of the teams on the journey, the reporters were asked not to open their blinds during their travel. Also, the media were expected to pay their own costs for the trip.
The train fare was 75 U.S. dollars per person round trip and each of their meals,... 20 dollars.
That's all I have for now, back to you Semin.
