Hundreds of North and South Korean relatives, who haven't seen each other in decades, will briefly reunite during family reunions from February 20 to 25. The reunions come after North Korea called for better relations between the two sides, and ahead of planned US-South Korea drills. North Korea had earlier threatened to cancel the reunions if the military exercises went ahead.

More than 100 mostly elderly South Koreans arrived at North Korea's Mount Kumgang for the event. They brought clothing, medicine, and food for their relatives. Around 180 North Koreans were also in attendance. These reunions are the only legal way for families separated by the division of the country to see each other.
