"There has been no notification from North Korea (DPRK) on this issue," Seoul's Unification Ministry spokesman Chun Hae-sung told reporters.

The DPRK delegation to working-level talks in early March on improving operations at their joint industrial complex said they would formally inform the ROK of the situations of the four ROK nationals as soon as detailed information is available, Chun added.

Pyongyang announced late February that it is investigating four ROK nationals for illegal entry, without giving further details.
