Multiple reports in South Korea name the male US soldier as Travis King, and say he crossed the border without permission at 3.27pm local time. It is unclear why he attempted the crossing. Periodic visits by US nuke-capable subs to South Korea were one of several agreements reached by the two countries' presidents in April in response to North Korea's expanding nuclear threat.
