The transit was facilitated by the newly opened New Yalu River Bridge, a significant piece of infrastructure connecting Sinuiju, North Korea, to Dandong, China. According to government sources cited by the Yonhap news agency, the train traveled from the North Korean capital to the border city of Sinuiju before crossing the bridge into Chinese territory.
