Reports coming out of South Korea are making headlines worldwide. An American national broke the law and illegally crossed the military demarcation line into North Korea. This stunning event happened on Tuesday during a guided tour of the Joint Security Area.
The United Nations Command confirmed the incident in a press release. They say the U.S. citizen joined a JSA orientation tour. He then trespassed, without permission, into the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK). He is, as of now, under North Korean custody.
But that’s not all. The United Nations Command is also trying its best to ensure his safety. Representatives are communicating with the North Korean military to try and find a solution. They aim to address this incident as quickly as possible to prevent any further complications.
