More than 100 South Koreans crossed the border into the North early Thursday ahead of planned meetings with relatives they have not seen since the 1950-53 Korean War, dpa cited a news report as saying. A group of 82 selected South Koreans were accompanied by 58 family members on their way to the east coast resort of Mount Kumgang, where they were to meet 180 North Korean relatives over three days, the South's Yonhap News Agency said. They were to first meet at 3 pm (0600 GMT) and then go on to have dinner together, the report said. After the first round of meetings, from Sunday to Tuesday, 88 North Koreans selected by Pyongyang were to hold their own reunions in Kumgang, with 361 relatives from the South.
