Two armed North Korean soldiers reportedly crossed into China near the city of Dandong this week, with one apprehended and another still on the run, South Korean media said on Friday.

According to information flyers distributed on the Chinese side of the border, the remaining soldier, identified as 19 year old Kim Hyeok Nam, is believed to still be armed.

“He is 164 cm tall (about 5’4″ or 5’4″), last seen in military uniform carrying two military knives, one pair of night-vision goggles and three rounds of ammunition,” the Chinese language poster, published by South Korean media, read.
