Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Qin Gang said during a briefing on Thursday that the government has confirmed the reporters' dention and is currently carrying out an investigation.

A senior government official in Seoul said that the two reporters were detained Tuesday along the Yalu River while shooting footage of the North. They were detained after they refused to stop filming.
