Jung Gun-mok, a 64-year-old former South Korean fisherman who was abducted by North Korea in the Yellow Sea about 40 years ago, comforts his South Korean mother, Lee Bok-soon, 88, as they bid each other a sad farewell at a resort on Mount Kumgang on the North's east coast on Oct. 26, 2015, the last day of the three-day reunions. About 260 South Koreans arrived at the resort two days ago for the first face-to-face reunions of families separated by the 1950-53 Korean War in nearly 20 months. A prior group of some 390 South Koreans did the same from Oct. 20-22. (Yonhap) (END)
