SKorea detects 'unidentified object' over DMZ

South Korea's military say it has detected an "unidentified object" flying near the border with North Korea.

The South's Joint Chiefs of Staff says its radar found "the traces of flight by an unidentified object" on Monday over the central portion of the

Demilitarized Zone that bisects the two Koreas. It gave no further details.

The DMZ is the world's most heavily fortified border. The two Koreas have occasionally traded exchanges of gunfire before North Korea entered talks on its nuclear program.

The development came a day after President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong met at the DMZ and agreed to resume working-level talks on the North's nuclear program.

 

The meeting between Trump and Kim, their third, happened in the western portion of the DMZ.

South Korea says it hopes the diplomatic momentum created by the latest meeting between President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un would help revive inter-Korean dialogue and engagement that ground to a halt amid a hard impasse in nuclear negotiations between Washington and Pyongyang.
