A group of South Korean skiers flew to North Korea on Wednesday ahead of the Winter Olympics to train with their rivals, on a rare direct flight after Washington exempted it from sanctions. It was the latest in a flurry of cross-border trips in the run-up to the Pyeongchang Winter Olympics, which have seen a rare apparent rapprochement on the peninsula after months of high tensions over the North's nuclear programme. The 45-strong delegation, including 24 skiers -- none of them slated to take part in the Games -- travelled to the North's Masikryong ski resort, a pet project of leader Kim Jong-Un. from Yahoo News - Latest News & Headlines http://ift.tt/2DQgveH via Latest News
