A U.S. soldier has been detained in North Korea after crossing the DMZ, the line separating North Korea from South Korea, U.S. officials tell Fox News. Private 2nd Class Travis King had just finished about two months in a South Korean detention facility following a physical altercation with locals and was potentially set to face further discipline.

A U.S. Forces Korea spokesperson said King was on a joint security area orientation tour when he "willfully and without authorization crossed the Military Demarcation Line into the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK)."

"We believe he is currently in DPRK custody and are working with our KPA (Korean People's Army) counterparts to resolve this incident," the spokesperson added.
