North Korean investigators have concluded that Travis King crossed deliberately and illegally, with the intent to stay in the North or in a third country, state news agency KCNA said.
Last month, Russia's defence minister stood shoulder to shoulder with Kim as they reviewed his newest nuclear-capable missiles and attack drones at a military parade in Pyongyang.
General Ri Yong Gil was named to replace the military’s top general, chief of the General Staff Pak Su Il, state media KCNA reported, without elaborating.
The parade included North Korea’s latest Hwasong-17 and Hwasong-18 intercontinental ballistic missiles which are believed to have range to strike targets anywhere in US.
Russia's defence minister was seen viewing banned North Korean ballistic missiles with leader Kim Jong Un at a military expo, signalling deeper ties between the two countries.
Analysts say the spectacle will likely include the North’s nuclear-tipped missiles banned by the United Nations Security Council, where Russia and China are permanent members.
Dressed in civvies, King broke off from a group of 40 tourists being guided around the Joint Security Area inside the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ), and sprinted across the border.
Travis King ran over the border Tuesday while on a civilian tour of the Demilitarized Zone between the two Koreas, and US officials say they have yet to ascertain his fate.
US Army Secretary Christine Wormuth said Washington was fully mobilised in trying to contact Pyongyang, including through United Nations communications channels.
