Cheorwon: Dozens of South Korean soldiers visited former front-line North Korean guard posts to verify their recent removal as part of warming diplomacy by the rival Koreas while US-North Korea nuclear disarmament efforts remain stalled.

The two Koreas have each dismantled or disarmed 11 of their guard posts inside the Demilitarised Zone that forms their 248km-long, 4km-wide border.
