Is that regime collapsing? This from the London Daily Mail:
North Korean soldier defects to the South by walking across the DMZ and two civilians are found drifting in a fishing boat
A North Korean soldier defected to South Korea early on Thursday, a South Korean defence ministry official said.
The low-ranking North Korean soldier defected across the heavily militarized border between North and South Korea at around 8.04am, the official said.
Yonhap reports the man's intentions are being investigated by the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
And just a month ago:
These are the latest known defections after a solider was shot crossing the border about five weeks ago.
Another North Korean soldier, Oh Chong Song, 24, suffered critical gunshot wounds during a defection dash on November 13.
Where were the border guards today?
