North Korea for the first time responded to messages regarding a U.S. soldier who ran across the demilitarized zone two weeks ago, according to defense officials.
North Korea for the first time responded to messages regarding U.S. Army Private 2nd Class Travis King, whoDemocratic People's Republic of Koreahas responded to United Nations Command, but I don't have any substantial progress to read out," Pentagon press secretary Brig. Gen. Pat Ryder said during a briefing Tuesday when asked by ABC News for an update on attempts to communicate with North Korea.
King, 23, has been a cavalry scout in the U.S. Army since 2021 and had no previous deployments before serving in, according to Army spokesperson Bryce Dubee. King spent 47 days in a South Korean jail after an altercation with locals, and was released in June according to U.S. officials. Instead of boarding his flight, King at some point left the airport, joining a tour of the demilitarized zone, or DMZ, the heavily-fortified area separating North Korea from South Korea. King broke from the group, then "willfully and without authorization crossed the military demarcation line," Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin said two days after the July 18 incident.
