Seoul returns six North Koreans with 'strong desire' to go back

South Korea repatriates six North Koreans with a "strong desire" to return home after inadvertently drifting into South Korean waters. The move, the first under President Lee Jae-myung, aims to improve inter-Korea ties despite communication challenges due to heightened tensions. Observers believe the repatriation was agreed on "behind the scenes", but some predict those returning may face intense scrutiny upon reentry into North Korea, strengthening the regime's legitimacy.
