Closed Country, North Korea Maintains Strict Control Over the Population and Remains One of the Most Enigmatic Nations Today.

North Korea, officially known as the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, is one of the most isolated countries in the world. Located in East Asia, it shares borders with China, Russia, and South Korea.

Since the end of the Korean War in 1953, the country has remained under communist rule, currently led by Kim Jong-un.

The North Korean government tightly controls all information that enters and leaves the territory. The press is state-run, internet access is extremely limited, and foreign tourists can only visit specific areas, always accompanied by government guides.

Drone Crossed the Border and Captured Isolated City

In a surprising post on Reddit, a user identified as XiaoHao2 revealed rare aerial images of North Korea, taken with a drone sent from China.

The photos, released at the end of March last year, show scenes from the city of Sinuiju, located on the border with China.

According to the author, the drone departed from the Chinese city of Dandong and crossed the Yalu River, which separates the two countries.

The images are reported to have been taken in 2020, at the height of the pandemic. Sinuiju, the capital of North Pyongan Province, appears in the photos with empty streets, simple buildings, and residents watching the aerial equipment.

The internet user reported that everything occurred while he was in Chinese territory and emphasized, in response to a comment, that he remains “alive and free.”

One of the images reportedly shows, according to The Korean Times, the main avenue near the Sinuiju Chongnyon station.

Interest in Closed Country Remains High

North Korea is one of the most isolated countries in the world. With closed borders for much of the pandemic, tourism still requires permission, organized groups, and local guides. Photographing freely is also not allowed.

These images generated online buzz precisely because they show the country’s interior without the usual control.

According to the post’s author, the recordings were not edited and show exactly what the drone captured.
