A North Korean soldier has managed to defect to South Korea through the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) unharmed, just one month after another soldier was seriously wounded for doing so.

The Yonhap News Agency reported that the “low-ranking” soldier emerged out of the fog in front of a guard post at the DMZ just after 8 am local time on Thursday.
