SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — South Korean authorities on Thursday were questioning a suspected North Korean resident who crossed into the South, according to South Korea’s military. South Korea’s Joint Chiefs of Staff said in a text message to reporters that South Korean soldiers secured an unidentified individual who was likely North Korean and handed that person over to relevant authorities for questioning. The joint chiefs didn’t immediately provide details on how the person crossed the border, from where and whether it was an attempt to defect to the South, citing the ongoing investigation. The military statement came after South Korea’s Yonhap news agency, citing anonymous military sources, reported that a North Korean resident crossed an estuary where the Han River meets the Yellow Sea and was taken by South Korean troops at the South’s western border island of Gyodong.
