It was reported that four unidentified North Korean residents defected today through the Sokcho area in Gangwon-do.
A government official said, “We understand that four people from North Korea have expressed their intention to defect,” but did not mention their identities or movement process.
Once these North Korean residents’ intention to defect is finally confirmed, it is expected that they will receive a ‘joint interrogation’ involving the National Intelligence Service and the Military Unification Ministry according to the normal procedure.
