Group of 280 North Koreans cross into South Korea for Olympics

(7 Feb 2018) A group of 280 North Koreans crossed the land border into South Korea on Wednesday ahead of the opening of the Pyeongchang Winter Olympics.
The group arrived at the inter-Korean immigration office in Paju, and then headed to a hotel in Inje, about an hour away from Pyeongchang.
The group includes 229 members of a state-trained cheering group, as well as officials, journalists and members of a taekwondo demonstration team.
The arrival came a day after a North Korean ferry carrying a 140-member art troupe docked in a South Korean port.
The Koreas are co-operating for a series of conciliatory measures during the Olympics, which begin on Friday.
Seoul sees the games as an opportunity to ease tensions with the North following an extended period of animosity and diplomatic stalemate.
