[정치]Another border hole…one North Korean man was caught in Goseong, Gangwon-do

[앵커]

Military authorities are investigating and securing a recruit of a North Korean male at the checkpoint of the civilian access control line in the East Sea.

Officials are confirming the defection, but it is pointed out that the defection was revealed in three months after the defection in November last year.

About 4:20 a.m. yesterday.

A man moving south from the Civil Control Line in Donghae, Gangwon-do was detected by military CCTV.

The military immediately dispatched an operational force and arrested the man at around 7:20 a.m., three hours later. In the process, there was an emergency, such as issuing and dismissing a Jindo dog, an anti-invasion warning order.

Military authorities assume the man came from North Korea and are trying to find out whether he returned home.

The problem is where this man’s recruit was secured.

This man was caught in the area around the Jejin Checkpoint, the northernmost civilian line checkpoint in the East Sea, about 5 km away from the front rail.

Civilians are not allowed to walk on the northern road from the seismic checkpoint to the Goseong Unification Observation Deck.

Accordingly, it is known that the military authorities are investigating the possibility that it came down through the coast rather than through the barbed wire fence.

Even so, it has become inevitable to point out that all areas of the area have a barbed wire border network installed, which also revealed a loophole in the frontline border and surveillance.

In November of last year, the unit also suffered a controversy over a border failure as a North Korean man passed the barbed wire and returned to the truce.

The Joint Warfare Posture Inspection Office, jointly with the Ground Operations Command, investigated whether there were any problems with the alert posture.
