- North Korea has announced that it will expel a US soldier who entered the country illegally through the heavily armed border between North and South Korea.

- King had been due to return to the United States after being released from prison in South Korea, following an assault conviction. However, he instead crossed into North Korea, becoming the first American in nearly five years to be detained by the country.
