North Koreans defect to South Korea

Two North Koreans have defected to South Korea, the first people to do so since a historic summit between the leaders of the two countries in April, the Yonhap News Agency reported on Saturday citing a government source.


The South Korean military spotted the two in a boat near Baengnyeong Island to the west of the Korean peninsula, close to the maritime border in the Yellow Sea.
