South and North Korea have agreed a deal to defuse tensions after a series of recent border confrontations, South Korea’s Yonhap news agency says.
Both have been on alert after a brief exchange of fire at the border last Thursday.
The North had threatened to use force to stop propaganda broadcasts by the South, started after two of its soldiers were injured by a landmine.
High-level negotiators have been meeting since Saturday.
The talks in the abandoned “truce village” of Panmunjom inside the demilitarised zone were said to have ended at 00:55 local time on Tuesday.
