SEOUL, South Korea — Four South Korean fishermen held by North Korea after their boat strayed into northern waters will be released, and families divided for decades after the Korean War will get a rare chance to meet next month.
North Korea announced Friday that it will hand over the fishermen and their boat to South Korean authorities across the eastern sea border at 5 p.m. today, said Seoul’s Unification Ministry spokesman Chun Hae-sung.
The announcement came hours after the two Koreas agreed to hold a new round of reunions next month for families split by the Korean War, the first in nearly two years.
