North and South Korean negotiators continued a marathon session of talks aimed at lowering tensions across their heavily fortified border as Kim Jong Un stepped up the mobilization of his forces.
The second session of the talks has continued for 18 hours as of 9:30 a.m. in Seoul and there was little sign of progress. It follows a 10-hour session between the officials earlier in the weekend. North Korea has deployed amphibious landing crafts to the front line to keep up its combat readiness, Yonhap reported Monday citing military sources.
