Seoul’s Joint Chief of Staff (JCS) said on Friday that a North Korean had blamed the heavy mining land in South Korea with the help of South Army in a 20 -hour operation.
While thousands of people have fled from North Korea to south south. The peninsula was divided into the 1950s, most of China to the indirect route and the third country like Thailand.
What do we know about crossing?
The man first revealed a shallow stream near the South Korean military surveillance equipment and near the DMZ on Thursday at 4 pm.
The JCS said it was still during the hours of daylight to avoid capturing and it was difficult to track due to the thick forest.
South Korean troops approached him that night and finally approached the military demori, which was the real border limit within DMZ.
JCS said, “The army identified the person near MDL, conducted tracking and monitoring,” JCS said. The soldiers performed a standard guide operation to successfully secure detention. “
When the man first saw the soldiers, he asked, “Who are you?” The soldiers replied, “We are South Korean Army. We will guide you for security.”
The man crossed the MDL and joined the South Korean soldiers, who then pulled him out of DMZ.
The JCS said that the entry operation, which included a significant number of soldiers navigating the dangers of dense vegetation and landmine, took about 20 hours.
How do most people escape from North Korea?
South Koreans have been blamed by about 34,000 North Koreans since the Korean War in the 1950s.
However, less North Korean people have recently bee to successfully cross DMZ.
The 248-cousin (155-mile) long, 4-kilometer-wide is extremely rare and dangerous due to the crossing land mines, dense vegetation and constant military monitoring through the latch, 4-km-wide dimilitated zone (DMZ).
Heavy strongholds between North and South Korea-240 km long and 4 kilometers wide service between the two countries, which are technically in the war.
While thousands of North Koreans have fled from their poor and tightly controlled homeland for decades, the Yalu River in the west and the Tumine River in the east, entering China and most of them.
To avoid China from going north, they then pass through third countries before reaching South Korea.
South Korean President Lee J. tried to rebuild the trust with North after assuming office last month, including the closure of loudspeakers who destroyed the campaign against North Korea along with Seema.
