Just in:
More to come.
A North Korean soldier defected to South Korea through the land border Thursday, the South's military said.
The "low-ranking" soldier appeared in front of a guard post on the mid-western front at around 8:04 a.m. amid thick fog, according to the Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS).
There was no gunfire involving the latest defection of a North Korean soldier, the fourth this year alone, and no unusual movement of the North's border troops has been detected either, a JCS official told reporters.
Related authorities are looking into the defector's intentions, he added.
More to come.
