Punggye Station

P'unggye station is a railway station in P'unggye-ri, Kilju county, North Hamgyŏng province, North Korea, on the Paektusan Ch'ŏngnyŏn Line of the Korean State Railway.

The station, along with the rest of the KiljuHapsu section, was opened by the Chosen Government Railway (朝鮮総督府鉄道) on 1 November 1933.

On 9 October 2006 an underground nuclear test was conducted at the Punggye-ri Nuclear Test Site, causing the closure of the line for 3–4 months.
