Kibong-dong hovercraft base explained

The Kibong-dong hovercraft base (기봉동) is a base of Korean People's Army Naval Force located in North Pyongan Province, North Korea.[1] [2]

History

Kibong-dong was constructed in the 1980s.[1]

Hovercraft

Kibong-dong has sheds which could house approximately 52 hovercraft vessels.[1] The hovercraft sheds were constructed between 2000 and 2003.[1] Hovercraft were last observed in March 2013 Google Earth imagery, since that date free to use imagery has shown little evidence of activity of any kind.
