North Korea clearly violated the 1953 armistice agreement that ended the Korean War when its border guards shot after, and one ran after, a North Korean soldier as he made a daring dash for freedom last week, the commander of U.S. Forces in Korea said Wednesday.
His full escape - including the moment he ran from his jeep toward the south, and his compatriots ran after him shooting - was caught on closed-circuit television footage that the U.S.-run United Nations Command, which controls the southern part of the border, released Wednesday.
The man, thought to be in his 20s, made a daring dash for freedom across the Demilitarized Zone last week and was shot at least five times during his escape. He is in a stable condition and has regained consciousness, his doctor said Wednesday.
