While the two Koreas have been drawing down weapons along the border... this morning, Seoul's defense ministry confirmed that Pyeongyang has not closed one of its four gunports near the maritime border.
The ministry sent a message to the regime, asking to close it.
According to an official from the nation's defense ministry, North Korea responded...saying that the matter will be dealt with after it's reported to higher authorities.
