SEOUL, Oct. 8 (Yonhap) -- Besides the weekend defection of a North Korean soldier to South Korea, two more soldiers from the communist nation made their way across the heavily armed border this year, a senior military source said Monday.
Just four days before an 18-year-old soldier defected Saturday after shooting his platoon and squad leaders to death, another North Korean soldier was spotted by South Korean soldiers near a guard post on the eastern front on Oct. 2, the official said, asking anonymity due to the sensitivity of the issue.
