Six American citizens have been detained in South Korea after attempting to send items, including rice, Bibles, and US dollar bills, into North Korea. The individuals were apprehended near a heavily restricted border area separating the two Koreas. Authorities are currently investigating the incident to determine the group's motives and potential violations of South Korean law, which strictly regulates the movement of goods and materials into North Korea due to international sanctions and ongoing tensions.
