Travis King, North Korea to expel U.S. soldier who crossed into the country


 King reportedly "confessed that he illegally intruded into the territory of the DPRK" (the acronym for North Korea's official name, the Democratic People's Republic of Korea), according to state media, which did not say when King would be freed. 

Travis King, a U.S. soldier who infiltrated North Korea in July, will be deported, the communist nation said in a statement released on Wednesday. Before he appeared to dash across the border, he joined a tour of the Joint Security Area (JSA) in the demilitarized zone that divides North and South Korea. Since then, no one has heard from him. 

The United States grapples with a rare and perplexing situation involving one of its service members, Corporal James King, who appears to be in North Korean custody. This unusual incident has stirred diplomatic efforts to secure his release. According to American authorities, Pvt. 2nd Class King had been penalized for misbehavior while serving in South Korea and was on his way home when he missed his aircraft.

North Korea raised eyebrows last month when it asserted that Corporal King had voluntarily crossed into North Korean territory due to his alleged grievances concerning "inhuman maltreatment and racial discrimination within the U.S. Army." 

The veracity of these claims remains unverified by the U.S. Defense Department, leaving room for skepticism regarding the circumstances surrounding King's presence in North Korea. The demilitarized zone that divides North and South Korea, administered by the United Nations, is where this incident unfolded.
