A US soldier who has been detained in North Korea reportedly entered the country during a tour of the JSA
A US soldier was detained by North Korea on Tuesday after he crossed into the country “wilfully and without authorisation”, according to a US official.
The soldier, Private 2nd Class Travis King, crossed the military demarcation line that separates the two countries while on a tour of the Joint Security Area (JSA) between North and South Korea. He is the first American detained in North Korea in five years.
