The second of two inter-Korean family reunion sessions has opened for the second day at North Korea's Mount Geumgang resort. The Thursday reunions will see families meet individually behind closed doors.

Two-hundred-97 family members from both Koreas met as a group and attended a welcome dinner at a Geumgang reunion center on Wednesday.

A 72-year-old South Korean met the three sons of his deceased elder brother who was taken by the North as a prisoner of war during the Korean War.

The South Korean Red Cross has asked North Korea about the whereabouts of 25 other South Korean POWs and abductees, but the North says it cannot confirm the status of any of them.

The three-day reunion will end Friday.
