Kenneth Bae is seen Sept. 1, 2014 in Pyongyang, North Korea. | Matthew Todd Miller is seen at an undisclosed location in North Korea, Aug. 1, 2014.
Americans Kenneth Bae and Matthew Todd Miller have been released from captivity in North Korea and are returning home, U.S. officials said.
National Intelligence Director James Clapper engaged in discussions with North Korea officials to secure the Americans' release, the U.S. Department of State said. Clapper is traveling with the men as they head back to the U.S, according to the State Department.
Bae and Miller were the last two American detainees being held in North Korea after the release of Jeffrey Fowle last month.
In April 2013 Bae, of Washington state, was sentenced to 15 years of hard labor for allegedly trying to overthrow the North Korean state. Bae was the longest serving American prisoner in North Korea since the Korean War.
Miller, 24, was detained after entering North Korea in April and was accused of committing "hostile acts" against the country. He was sentenced to a six-year jail term on charges of espionage.
