Panghyŏn-dong is a neighbourhood that is an exclave of the city of Pyongyang, North Korea, used as a missile base. It is located near the city of Kusong, which it was formerly part of. The neighbourhood became part of Pyongyang in 2018. The area is restricted from foreign entry because of its involvement with the defense industry, and the residents get special treatment in food rations.[1]
