The soldier made his move around 3 p.m. local time on November 13.

The footage shows how the soldier drove at high speed to the Joint Security Area (JSA) at Panmunjom, crashed his vehicle, sprinted across the Military Demarcation Line (MDL) underfire, and was rescued by South Korean Army personnel after being shot at least four or five times.

The footage also shows the exact moment a KPA soldier violated the six-decade old armistice agreement that has temporarily halted open hostilities between the North and the South.
