Washington Post: As marathon talks continue, Koreas ready their militaries for conflict
TOKYO — Representatives from North and South Korea held a day of marathon talks Sunday — stretching more than 21 hours past noon local time Monday, without any word of either progress or failure — as they tried to find a way to defuse escalating tensions.
But even as the talks continued, the South reported that more than 50 submarines from the North appeared to have left their bases and that troop numbers had been doubled on the northern side of the demilitarized zone that separates the estranged neighbors. Meanwhile, South Korea brought six fighter jets home early from drills in Alaska.
Still, the fact that the talks were continuing was positive, analysts said.
