US Soldier Detained in North Korea After Unauthorized Border Crossing

An American soldier, Pvt. Travis King, has been detained in North Korea, possibly after crossing the border on a tour bus. Prior to his arrest, King had a run-in with South Korean law enforcement, serving a 47-day sentence for damaging a squad car. The incident comes amid heightened tensions between North Korea and the US over missile launches. The US Army confirmed the soldier's unauthorized crossing and is working to resolve the situation. North Korea has not acknowledged the incident. Previous cases of Americans detained in North Korea have ended poorly, with Otto Warmbier dying shortly after his release in 2017.
