A 40-something photographer has been booked for police investigation on charges of entering Ukraine without government permission, officials said Thursday.
The man entered the war-stricken country via Poland in early March to photograph the war between Ukraine and Russia, and stayed there for about two weeks before returning home.
Upon a complaint filed by the foreign ministry, the Gyeonggi Bukbu Provincial Police Agency booked the man for investigation on charges of breaching the Passport Act.
Since mid-February, Korea has prohibited its citizens from traveling to the country without authorization from the government. (Yonhap)
