US national likely held by North Korea after crossing border: UN

A man detained in North Korea after crossing the military demarcation line separating the two Koreas is a United States soldier who entered the country “willfully and without authorization”, according to a US military official. The United Nations Command, which has helped oversee the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) between South Korea and North Korea since an armistice ended fighting in the 1950-1953 Korean War, said on Tuesday the individual had been taking part in a tour when he crossed into North Korea. - Subscribe to our channel: - Follow us on Twitter: - Find us on Facebook: - Check our website: @AljazeeraEnglish #Aljazeeraenglish #News #US #unitedstates #NorthKorea
