South Korea’s military detained a person who crossed the border from North Korea, the Joint Chiefs of Staff announced on Friday. The person crossed the military demarcation line, which is located halfway within the Demilitarized Zone that divides the Korean Peninsula, on Thursday. The JCS confirmed that the person is in custody and will be subject to an investigation. No further details about the individual, including their motive, were provided. The JCS also stated that no unusual actions by the North Korean military were detected during the incident. Defection from North Korea has been declining in recent years, likely particularly due to the heavily fortified border between the two countries.
