North Korea will expel the US Army soldier who bolted across the border from South Korea in July, but didn’t give any indication on how it would arrange his return.
“The relevant organ of the DPRK decided to expel Travis King, a soldier of the US Army who illegally intruded into the territory of the DPRK,” the official Korean Central News Agency said Wednesday, referring to North Korea by its formal name.
