据韩联社报道，8月8日凌晨，一名朝鲜居民步行穿越了汉江入海口这一韩朝共用水域，抵达了仁川江华郡乔桐岛。该居民在到达韩国领土后，向韩国军方表达了归顺的意愿。韩国军方消息人士透露，这名居民能够成功越境，得益于当时汉江入海口正处于退潮状态，使得步行成为可能。
韩国国防部长官申源湜在出席国会国防委员会全体会议时表示，韩国军方一直对这一区域进行监视，并在居民越境后立即采取了行动，成功引导其归顺。申源湜还表示，有关部门正在对这一事件进行详细调查，并将根据调查结果决定哪些信息可以公开。
韩联社报道，韩国军方已经将这名朝鲜居民移交给相关部门进行进一步调查。目前，尚未发现朝鲜军方有任何异常动向。
这起事件是近年来朝鲜居民越境投奔韩国的罕见案例之一，凸显了韩朝边境的紧张局势和朝鲜内部的不稳定。同时，这也可能对韩朝关系产生一定影响，韩国政府对此保持高度关注。

News Title: North Korean Resident Crosses Border on Foot to South Korea, Demonstrating Willingness to Surrender
Keywords: North Korean resident, cross-border defection to South Korea, Han River estuary
News Content: According to a report by the Yonhap News Agency, at around 12:00 a.m. on August 8, a North Korean resident walked across the Han River estuary, a shared water body between South and North Korea, and arrived at Cheollip Island in Jocheon County, Incheon. Upon reaching South Korean territory, the resident expressed a desire to surrender to South Korean military forces. A South Korean military official disclosed that the resident’s successful crossing was facilitated by the low tide at the Han River estuary at the time, making it possible to walk across.
During a meeting of the National Assembly’s Defense Committee, South Korea’s Defense Minister Shin Won-sik stated that the South Korean military has been monitoring the area and took immediate action after the resident crossed over, successfully guiding them to surrender. Shin Won-sik also mentioned that relevant authorities are conducting a detailed investigation into the incident and will decide on the information to be made public based on the results of the investigation.
The Yonhap News Agency reported that the South Korean military has transferred the North Korean resident to relevant authorities for further investigation. So far, there have been no unusual movements observed by the North Korean military.
This incident is one of the rare cases in recent years of North Korean residents crossing the border to defect to South Korea, highlighting the tense situation along the Korean Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) and the instability within North Korea. It may also have an impact on South-North Korean relations, which the South Korean government is keeping a close watch on.
