Current Event- North Korea Destroys Tower at Nuclear Site

A big explosion happened around 5 pm at June 27, 2008, and it was located at the Yongbyon nuclear complex near Pyongyang, North Korea. The destruction of the highly visible symbol of North Korea's long-secret nuclear program came just a day after the country released details of its program. It was intended to be a powerful public symbol of a move to end nuclear activities by the Communist nation once branded a member of an "axis of evil" by U.S. President George W. Bush.
