In a rare and bold move, a North Korean man successfully crossed the heavily fortified Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) into South Korea. The individual was detained shortly after crossing the land border, as confirmed by the Seoul military. This incident marks a significant event, as direct land crossings from North to South Korea are infrequent. South Korean authorities have been briefed on the breach of the demilitarized zone and are handling the situation as a presumed defection.
