SEOUL, South Korea – Less than a year ago, North Korean soldiers fired at a defector fleeing to the South across the border in the truce village of Panmunjom.
On Thursday, the two Koreas and the U.S.-led United Nations Command announced the completion of the withdrawal of firearms and military posts from the area as part of an inter-Korean agreement aimed at reducing hostilities.
The disarmament of Panmunjom underscored the fast pace at which the two Koreas are moving to improve relations despite slow progress in nuclear talks between Washington and Pyongyang.
