The historic moment was caught on camera by both sides
North and South Korean soldiers have made several friendly crossings into each other’s territory for the first time since the countries were divided.
The men were checking the dismantling of guard posts in the Demilitarised Zone (DMZ) along the border as part of the two sides’ recent rapprochement.
Footage showed the soldiers shaking hands at the border before crossing.
The Korean War in the 1950s left the peninsula divided and no formal peace treaty has ever been signed.
