North Korean officials returned U.S. serviceman Travis King to U.S. custody after detaining the Army private for months following his entry into restricted territory.
"The relevant organ of the [Democratic People's Republic of Korea] decided to expel Travis King, a soldier of the U.S. Army who illegally intruded into the territory of the DPRK, under the law of the Republic," state media outlet Korean Central News Agency wrote early Wednesday, according to translations provided by Yonhap News Agency.

The National Security Council confirmed King's return in a call later the same morning.
