North, South Korea Militaries 'Fully' Restore Communication Line Across World's Most Heavily Fortified Border

Longtime rivals North Korea and U.S.-backed South Korea have restored a cross-border military communication line amid a historic diplomatic initiative to establish peace on their shared peninsula.

The South Korean Defense Ministry announced Tuesday that an inter-Korean military communication line on the Yellow Sea—locally referred to as the West Sea—was again operational after being suspended during heightened tensions in 2016. The move is the latest sign that the two neighbors, who went to war in the 1950s, were committed to the ongoing dialogue, which produced a joint call for peace from North Korean leader Kim Jong Un and South Korean President Moon Jae-in during their first-ever meeting in April at the truce village of Panmunjom.
