AI analysis of recent oil tank railcar movements from the North Korea-Russia border initially suggested they were traveling exclusively on the northern pass, as they weren’t observed on the southern pass. However, they have now been identified on the southern pass for the first time. While definitive conclusions are difficult, the increased fuel traffic on the Southern pass suggests a substantial demand in that area. Given that the Wonsan-Kalma coastal tourist zone development is the only major construction or industrial activity currently underway on the east coast, it appears resources are being concentrated there to meet Kim Jong Un’s June opening deadline.
