The North Korean man crosses DMZ strongly fortified in the South Watch

A North Korean man crossed one of the most dangerous borders in the world and in the South Korean guard on Thursday evening.

The unidentified man, unarmed, has crossed the highly fortified demilitarized area (DMZ), The Associated Press reported.

The chiefs of South Korea joint Staff said that the troops followed him near the central-west part of the border and guided him through the lace of mines before warning him.

The crossing intervenes in the midst of growing criticisms of the change of strategy from South Korea to north.

Since his entry into office on June 11, the Liberal President of South Korea, Lee Jae Myung, has taken measures to facilitate friction with Pyongyang. He interrupted the speakers’ emissions that exploded messages in the North and moved to prohibit balloon launches by activists carrying pro-democracy leaflets, according to the Associated Press.

Critics warn Seoul’s position weakens deterrence and sends the bad message to Kim Jong one.

In recent weeks, there have been North Korea reports launched thousands of balls filled with waste such as cigarette butts and diapers in the south, the Wall Street Journal reported.

The border incidents between the two Koreas also become more frequent. In April, ten North Korean troops briefly crossed the military demarcation line before retiring after warning shots. Last year saw three similar incursions, according to the Associated Press.

Thursday’s incident involved not a group of soldiers, but a single man crossing North Korea in the South. It is considered to be increasingly rare than any defectors choose this path; Typical defectors from the north of the north rather take a path through China.

Diplomatic talks between the United States and North Korea have been frozen since 2019, when denuclearization negotiations collapsed. Since then, Kim has paid resources in the widening of his nuclear arsenal and has repeatedly threatened Seoul and Washington.
