North Korea accused of violating armistice by pursuing defecting soldier

A North Korean defector is pictured in security footage as he crosses the DMZ dividing the two Koreas in this screenshot of handout video provided by the United Nations Command.

(CNN)North Korea stands accused of violating the armistice agreement between North and South Korea, after North Korean soldiers fired across the line that divides the two countries in pursuit of a defector last week.
The United Nations Command in South Korea played dramatic security footage of the soldier's brazen defection across the heavily fortified demilitarized zone (DMZ) at a news conference on Wednesday. It showed the soldier running across the border as North Korean soldiers shot at him and officers later crawling to rescue him.
