North and South Korea on Friday began the second round of temporary reunion events this week for families that were separated by the 1950-1953 Korean War.

A total of 81 families comprising 326 people from the South crossed the border in the morning and travelled to North Korea's Mt. Kumgang resort for three days of meetings with their relatives.

The first round was held from Monday to Wednesday at the same location.

The two Koreas agreed to resume the family reunions, which were last held in 2015, at the summit between their leaders in April.

The limited time left for the separated families has prompted the South Korean side to explore the possibility of holding reunions regularly.
