Six American citizens were held in South Korea near a bound border region with North Korea.

The South Korean authorities have detained six citizens from the United States who were trying to send an estimated 1300 plastic bottles full of rice, US dollar bills and gospels to North Korea by sea, according to news reports.

The six were detained after they were informed by a coastal military unit guarding the area to the police. The area concerned is limited to the public after it is appointed a dangerous area in November due to its proximity to the north.

Activists who float plastic bottles or balloons have been flying across the South Korean border with the north for a long time in tensions on the Korean peninsula.
