According to the Pentagon, North Korea has responded to outreach regarding Private Travis King, who crossed into North Korea in July. The US had been waiting for a response from North Korea for weeks after communicating through established channels. The Pentagon used United Nations Command to make the requests. However, the Pentagon did not provide details on the content of North Korea's response or when it was sent. King had initially broken from a group tour of the demilitarized zone and was scheduled to return to the US after serving time in a South Korean detention facility.
