NORTH KOREA: 'DESTROYS NUCLEAR TEST SITE'

North Korea has exploded tunnels at its nuclear test site, according to South Korean news agency Yonhap.

A small group of foreign journalists invited to the Punggye-ri site reported seeing a series of explosions.

North Korea offered to scrap the test location as part of moves to further diplomacy with the US and South Korea.

It comes despite angry words from Pyongyang about US vice president mike pence - in response to comments he made comparing North Korea's nuclear programme to Libya's.

That's thrown a planned summit between Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un next month into doubt.
