The Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) has released four ROK fishermen, Yonhap news agency reported today.
The four fishermen had arrived at the de facto inter-Korean maritime border, said Yonhap, quoting a police source.
The DPRK announced it would release the four fishermen yesterday, hours after the two Koreas agreed to hold a new round of reunions next month for families separated by the Korean War -- the first in nearly two years.
The four fishermen and their boat were detained July 30 after crossing about 11km into waters off the DPRK' s east coast due to a faulty navigation system.
The DPRK had accused the fishermen of "illegally intruding" into its territorial waters.
