On July 18th, Juche 112(2023) Travis King, second class private of the US army in south Korea, illegally intruded into the territory of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea in the joint security area of Panmunjom.

Looking round the joint security area of Panmunjom together with tourists at around 3:30 p.m. on July 18th, King intentionally intruded into our area between the DPRK-US military contact room and resting room of military police officers to be caught by the soldiers of the Korean People's Army on duty.

According to an investigation of an organ concerned, Travis King admitted that he illegally intruded into the territory of the DPRK.

During the investigation, he confessed that he decided to come over to the DPRK, opposed to inhuman maltreatment and racial discrimination in the US army.

Saying he was disillusioned at the unequal American society, he expressed his will to seek political asylum either in the DPRK or in third country.

The investigation continues.
