A military official said, “In the early morning of this day, a North Korean soldier crossed the Military Demarcation Line on the Eastern Front and announced his intention to defect. “From the time the North Korean military moved from north of the Military Demarcation Line to the south, we tracked their movement route with surveillance equipment and conducted defection induction operations normally to secure new recruits,” he said. The defection induction operation consists of reporting the situation to higher-level units, continuously tracking the movement route with surveillance equipment, raising alertness, confirming the intention to defect, inducing through the gate, and securing new recruits.
The North Korean soldier who defected was a sergeant in his 20s and lived in Goseong, Gangwon-do.
