A North Korean two-star general has become the highest ranking officer to defect to the South last year in a rare move by a such high-level military official.
The army senior general had handled spy operations targeting South Korea at the North’s General Bureau of Reconnaissance before arriving in Seoul, according to South Korea’s Yonhap news.
Unification and defence ministry spokesmen in Seoul confirmed the report but declined to elaborate on details including the official’s name.
‘He is the highest-level military official to have ever defected to the South,’ said a Seoul government official quoted by Yonhap.
‘He is believed to have stated details about the bureau’s operations against South Korea to the authorities here,’ said the unnamed official.
