US national believed to be detained by North Korea after crossing border, UN agency says

A US national is believed to be in North Korean custody after crossing the border during a tour, a United Nations agency said Tuesday.

The individual was detained during a Joint Security Area tour after crossing the Military Demarcation Line separating North and South Korea, the United Nations Command said in a tweet.

“A U.S. National on a JSA orientation tour crossed, without authorization, the Military Demarcation Line into the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK). We believe he is currently in DPRK custody and are working with our KPA counterparts to resolve this incident,” the UNC said.
