Special Report: Trump meets North Korea's Kim Jong Un in the DMZ
North Korea's dangerous border: Inside the DMZ [Pt.1] | AJ+
Did you know North Korea and China are still technically at war with South Korea and the U.S.? That's because the Korean War ended in 1953 with an armistice agreement, not a peace treaty. Today, the border between North Korea and South Korea remains one of the most tense and dangerous in the world. AJ+'s Dena Takruri takes you inside the demilitarized zone between the two countries, known as the DMZ, where war could break out at any moment.

North Korea blows up guard posts in the Demilitarized Zone
North Korea demolished guard posts in the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) after the two Koreas agreed to completely destroy those near their heavily-fortified border last month.
Footage provided by South Korea's defense ministry showed guard posts in North Korea blown up in thick smoke.
It follows a military pact at a summit last month in North Korea that called for a halt to all hostile acts, a no-fly zone near the border and the gradual removal of guard posts, firearms and landmines from the DMZ separating the two.

STORYLINE
Shouting Long live national reunification, a South Korean activist who spent more than three months in North Korea without his government's approval stepped over the line dividing the North and South, and was promptly arrested on Thursday.
The stunt by No Su-hui, 68, was designed to draw attention to the division of the Korean Peninsula.
He had gone to Pyongyang from China in March without Seoul's permission, defying a law that prohibits South Koreans from travelling to North Korea without government approval, officials in Seoul said.
He was arrested immediately after his return, police in Seoul said.
Associated Press video showed South Korean officials in suits grabbing a defiant and resistant No just after he stepped over the demarcation line inside the Demilitarised Zone as South Korean soldiers snapped photographs at close distance.
On the other side of the border, soldiers and officials stood watching the melee as crowds of North Koreans waved white unified Korea flags.
Turning around to face crowds of cheering North Koreans before stepping over the line, No raised his arms and shouted Long live national reunification, by our nation itself, a white unified Korea flag in his right hand and a bouquet of flowers in his left.
No serves as vice chairman of South Korea's Pan-Alliance for Korea's Reunification.
Most tourists must enter and exit North Korea via China.

SOUTH KOREA: RESCUED NORTH KOREAN SAILORS RETURN HOME
Korean/Nat
Two North Korean sailors, rescued after their freighter sank in the East Sea four days ago returned to North Korea Tuesday through the demilitarized zone.
The sailors Li Jin Kyu, 34, an engineer, and Kim Il Chul, 28, a cook looked relatively healthy as they walked across the heavily armed border into North Korea.
The bodies of two drowned fellow seamen were also returned.
Li, Kim and the two dead sailors were found south of the eastern sea border last Friday, clinging to a plastic lifeboat which had capsized but did not sink.
The swift return appears to be aimed at easing mounting tensions between the rival Koreas.
Previous repatriations were often delayed by political and military tensions.
South Korea's Red Cross said the sailors were sent home out of a humanitarian and compatriotic spirit, but even this act of compassion had the air of a military exchange.
SOUNDBITE: (KOREAN)
We announced through the media the day after the rescue that the sailors should be returned swiftly. North Korea called us through the North-South direct line that they wanted them back immediately.
SUPER CAPTION: Byung-Woong Lee, Secretary General the Republic of Korea National Red Cross
The sailors told South Korean investigators that their 9,996-ton coal carrier Yombunjin-ho with 37 crewmen went down in rough seas.
All but the two were believed to have drowned.
Kang hoped that the swift repatriation would be met by similar North Korean moves to return a number of South Korean fishermen currently in North Korean custody.
There are currently 440 South Korean fishermen in North Korea.
The Koreas, divided into the communist North and the capitalist South in 1945, are still technically at war, with no peace treaty signed at the end of the 1950-53 Korean War.
Their border is the world's most heavily armed, with nearly 2 million troops deployed on both sides.

SOUTH KOREA: NORTH KOREAN DEFECTOR WALKS ACROSS DEMILITARIZED ZONE
Korean/Nat
A North Korean man has defected to neighbouring South Korea by - walking through the heavily fortified Demilitarized Zone separating the two countries.
Park Chol-ho emerged from the fog and drizzle to be paraded before the world's media after apparently breaching one of the world's most heavily fortified borders.
He spoke of severe food shortages in the North.
The latest North Korean defector was spotted early Wednesday morning by South Korean soldiers emerging the gloom and drizzle surrounding the Demilitarized Zone.
Carrying only the clothes on his back, Park was only too happy to show the assembled media the contents on his shoulder bag -- a rubber tube in case if he had to cross a river.
41-year-old Park Chol-ho said constant hunger drove him from his homeland.
A labourer for the North Korean army, Park was in charge of supplying food for North Korean soldiers.
Park spoke of widespread hunger in his homeland.
SOUNDBITE:
As far as I know, a North Korean dies of hunger every two or three days on average. I heard South Korea was far better off, so I decided to defect here before I die of hunger.
SUPERCAPTION: Park Chol-Ho, defector
Recent defectors have spoken of severe food shortages and scores of North Koreans dying of starvation in the seclusive Communist country.
Last summer North Korea was hit by large floods which devastated food supplies.
Park is the 27th North Korean defector to cross the border this year -- last year, 45 North Koreans defected to the South.
While the South Korean authorities were quick to maximise the propaganda value of the latest defector, the army is anxious to discover how a lone man managed to penetrate one of the world's most heavily fortified stretches of land.

Originally from Nashville, Tennessee, we got married June 2013 and quickly caught the travel bug! We started traveling full-time January 10, 2016. While daily vlogging was not the original plan, we were having way too many cool experiences not to share every single day! Now travel vlogging is our full-time gig and we feel like we have the greatest job in the world! We are incredibly thankful to do something we love every day. :)
We’ve pulled inspiration from several of our favorite travel vloggers on YouTube, such as: +CaseyNeistat +FunForLouis +Jon Olsson +Mr Ben Brown, and any other talented travel vloggers that YouTube’s algorithm will hopefully connect us with ;)
