PANMUNJOM, Korean Demilitarized Zone—Every weekday for five years, U.S. military officer Daniel McShane waited patiently for North Korean soldiers to return his calls. When they finally did, his team struggled to find the right phone. They had never heard it ring before.
Now, Lt. Cmdr. McShane or another member of a United Nations Command team staffed mostly by the U.S. military, speaks twice a day with North Korean counterparts 125 feet away on the other side of the Demilitarized Zone. The phone link reopened in July for the first time since 2013 as part of an inter-Korean agreement aimed at reducing the risk of a war on the heavily armed border.
