A North Korean person crossed the land border separating the two Koreas late Thursday and was taken into custody by the South Korean military, Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS) said Friday.
"The military identified, tracked, and monitored the individual near the military demarcation line, and conducted a standard guidance operation to take the person into custody," the JCS said Friday morning.
"Details of the defection process will be investigated by the relevant authorities."
The JCS added that there have not been any abnormal activities detected from the North Korean military.
