North, South Korea soldiers enter each other’s territory

Seoul: Soldiers from North and South Korea crossed into each other’s territory peacefully for the first time on Wednesday, Seoul said, as they began checking the dismantlement of guard posts in the Demilitarized Zone. South Korean inspectors visited each of the guard posts on the North’s side on Wednesday to make sure they had been dismantled and all firearms, troops removed, Seoul’s defence ministry said. North Korean inspectors carried out the same process. (AFP)
