N. Korean citizen's body to be cremated, with Pyongyang unresponsive to transfer offer

The body of a North Korean man found on the shore of Incheon city's Seongmo-do Island in late June will be cremated here.

This is according to Seoul's Unification Ministry and follows North Korea's failure to respond to South Korea's earlier proposal for the body transfer via the truce village of Panmunjom at 3 p.m. on this Tuesday.

Pyongyang has remained silent.
