South Korean military searches for demilitarized zone, but finds no defector

A South Korean citizen has crossed the heavily fortified border with North Korea. This is probably one of the few attempts to escape the DPRK.

South Korea’s Joint Chiefs of Staff said the defector was found in the demilitarized zone that separates the Korean peninsula, off the east coast at around 9:20 pm local time on Saturday.

Even after trying for hours, the youth managed to escape.

The military leadership in Seoul said it had no information about the defector’s future fate, but sent a request to the DPRK for his protection.
