The military authorities carried out a search operation on this day capturing unknown personnel off the eastern region. In the area, ‘Two Jindo Dogs’ were issued, which are on alert for a major invasion.
The Joint Chiefs of Staff said: “Our military tracked down an unidentified staff member captured by the surveillance team off the eastern region and secured the recruits safely at 9:50 am on the 4th. The investigation will take place. carried out in cooperation with the institution ”.
This North Korean man was reportedly first spotted by our military surveillance team at the DMZ at 7:26 pm the day before. Since then, it is believed to have crossed the southern barbed wire, and some of the barbed wire has been damaged in the process of crossing the barbed wire. About 14 hours passed since the military authorities first detected an unidentified person to be arrested and identified as a North Korean man. The unit in charge of the area is the 22nd Army Division. The 22nd Division, which is in charge of Goseong-gun, Gangwon-do, was controversial in 2012 in the so-called “defection by coup” incident.
In October 2012, a North Korean soldier crossed the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) and knocked on the bedroom window of our General Front Office (GOP) to express his intention to defect.
This incident also weighs on the possibility of simple desertion at this time, but it seems difficult to avoid criticism for repeating the failure of the alert operation in which the iron fence was pierced and the person was secured only hours later.
The failure of the border is also a persistent challenge for border military units. This year alone, the South Korean military exposed loopholes on the border through incidents such as smuggling Chinese nationals to Taean (April and May) and Suyeong, North Korea (July) on Ganghwa Island.
In particular, critical voices at the borders of the military on the other side of the border may rise again, as this incident occurred after the attack on public officials in the West Sea in September, which generated a wave of public opinion.
The army is criticized for not finding him until the Korean civilian disappeared and entered the maritime zone on the north side. He was also criticized for not responding properly to death after entering North Korean waters.
At that time, the military was criticized by public opinion and opposition parties, clarifying that it “did not know if it would do that” about the North Korean attack.
