An unidentified North Korean man crossed the heavily guarded land border into South Korea and is currently in custody, according to the South’s Joint Chiefs of Staff.
The military said the man was detected near the central-western section of the demilitarised zone (DMZ) on Thursday evening. Troops conducted a “guiding operation” to lead him safely across the mine-filled zone before detaining him.
Authorities have not yet confirmed whether this was a defection attempt but said the individual was unarmed. The United Nations Command has been notified.
There were no unusual movements observed from the North Korean military at the time of the crossing.

In a separate incident in April, South Korean troops fired warning shots after around 10 North Korean soldiers briefly crossed the demarcation line. No exchange of fire occurred.
