North Korea has demolished the 'Reunification Arch,' a large monument in Pyongyang that symbolized the hope for unification with South Korea, earlier this month. The order came from leader Kim Jong Un, who last week expressed a desire to 'completely eliminate' the public's idea of a friendly future with the South. NK News confirmed the demolition using satellite imagery from Planet Labs. The exact date of the monument's removal is unclear, coinciding with North Korea's recent missile tests, including several cruise missiles launched into the Yellow Sea and a 'hypersonic' missile on January 14.
