VLADIVOSTOK (UrduPoint News / Sputnik - 26th April, 2019) A train of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un was moved back to the train station in Vladivostok as he is expected to depart from the city later on Friday, a Sputnik correspondent reported from the scene.

Security measures have been enhanced near the station. Access to its surroundings has been restricted for the general public but traffic in the area still continues.

The station's airport express train terminal was closed on Friday, just like when Kim arrived on Wednesday, which has prompted speculations that it could be used by Kim for his departure.

The road leading to the train station has been closed off. Accredited media workers were allowed through security checks as a military orchestra was heard rehearsing.

A red carpet was rolled out at the square in front of the station for the farewell ceremony.
