North Korea has remained silent about a United States soldier’s highly unusual entry into its territory when he crossed the heavily-fortified border between South and North Korea.

There has been no word from North Korea regarding the fate of US Private 2nd Class Travis King, who willingly bolted into North Korea during a tour of the border village of Panmunjom on Tuesday.
