North Korea's Mount Kumgang, a scenic mountain known for its beauty that changes with the seasons, has been named a Unesco World Heritage site, reported Yonhap News Agency.

The Wonsan Kalma resort was opened in a grand ceremony last month by North Korea's leader, Kim Jong Un, who hailed it as a "world-class tourist and cultural destination". The details of how this resort was built have been shrouded in secrecy in a country largely closed to the outside world.

The fishermen’s boats had drifted into South Korean waters, officials said. The South’s new president has been trying to improve ties with North Korea.

Russia's foreign minister, Lavrov warns US, South Korea, and Japan against forming a security alliance targeting North Korea during his visit to Wonsan.
