Pyongyang fully reopens border

The Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) fully reopened its border yesterday to ROK personnel commuting to jobs at factories in a northern economic zone after four days of restrictions, the Republic of Korea's (ROK) officials said.

The crossing was closed twice in a week, stranding hundreds of ROK personnel who work in Kaesong and keeping new deliveries of raw materials from factories in the industrial complex for days.

After partially opening the border on Monday, the DPRK military relayed a letter yesterday saying it would fully reopen the crossing to Kaesong workers.
