North Korea pardoned six South Korean detainees in a goodwill gesture that could help revive talks on extending economic ties with the South.

The North handed the six over to the South Korean side of the jointly-managed border village of Panmunjom at 4:50 p.m. today, the Unification Ministry said in a text message, without giving any information about their identities.
