South Korea and the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) have resumed a military hotline in a western district after more than a year of suspension, Xinhua quoted Yonhap news agency as reporting Wednesday.
The communication channel was normalized after a test on Tuesday, South Korean Unification Ministry spokesman Chun Hae-sung was quoted as saying.
