Senior aides to the leaders of North and South Korea are continuing talks aimed at easing tensions that have brought the peninsula to the brink of armed conflict.

The meeting at the Panmunjom truce village began on Saturday evening, shortly after North Korea's deadline for loudspeaker propaganda broadcasts along the border to stop or face military action.

The envoys, shown on TV exchanging handshakes at the start of their meeting, are discussing ways to resolve tensions and improve ties, South Korean officials said.
