The first road bridge connecting allies North Korea and Russia is nearing completion, satellite images analysed by BBC Verify show.
It's the latest sign of the deepening relationship between Pyongyang and Moscow that has seen North Korean troops fighting alongside Russian forces following the full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
"This bridge will offer a useful route to transfer military goods and munitions - both to North Korea and to Russia," said Dr Edward Howell, Korea Foundation Fellow at the Chatham House think tank.
The new road across the Tumen River is located a few hundred meters from the only other bridge between the two countries - a rail connection known as the "Friendship Bridge".
The latest satellite imagery shows the kilometre-long bridge alongside several new access roads, a border checkpoint, support infrastructure and parking facilities.
