Officials from South Korea and North Korea announced Tuesday they had reached an agreement. South Korea agreed to end its propaganda broadcasting into North Korea after Pyongyang expressed "regret" about a recent land-mine explosion that wounded two soldiers from the South.
The two sides were holding talks at the Panmunjom truce village. The talks began on Saturday after North Korean leader Kim Jong Un had declared a "quasi-state of war" against the South. Last week, the two Koreas also exchanged artillery fire. No deaths were reported.
South Korea's presidential security adviser said the two countries also agreed to hold talks again soon about improving relations. South Korean soldiers stand guard at checkpoint on Grand Unification Bridge which leads to Panmunjom, in Paju, South Korea, Aug. 24, 2015.
The United States, an ally of South Korea, welcomed the agreement. State Department spokesman John Kirby called the agreement a compromise. He said it is now up to North Korea "to act and not simply make assurances" about its military activities along the border between the two countries.
News from Bangkok says police are searching thousands of homes and buildings in Bangkok for clues in a bomb attack at a religious shrine a week ago. The bombing killed at least 20 people and injured more than 100 others. No one has claimed responsibility for the attack.
Police say they need to examine more than 10,000 places in the Thai capital, some more than once. More than 1,000 police officers, soldiers and others are involved in the search. Thai officials want to show travelers that Bangkok is safe.
In France, French President Francois Hollande has given the country's highest award—the Legion of Honor—to three Americans and a Briton. The four men stopped a heavily-armed gunman from killing people on a train Friday.
Mr. Hollande said the actions of the men are, in his words, "a message of courage, solidarity and hope." Spanish officials say the attacker is a 25-year-old man from Morocco. He reportedly was in Syria some time during the past year.
