Excerpt from Yonhap:
A South Korean factory operating in the joint industrial complex in Kaesong has been closed for nearly 20 days over a feud with a North Korean controller, government and company officials said Monday.
The company, which employs around 300 North Korean workers, took the measure on June 12 after South Korean employees and North Korean officials scuffled over supplies, they said.
The firm demanded the North Korean authorities replace the North Korean controller who allegedly assaulted South Koreans in the fight, but the demand was not met.
It was not known exactly what caused the fight.
A total of 28,277 North Koreans were working for 70 South Korean labor-intensive manufacturers in Kaesong as of the end of May, according to the Unification Ministry.
