SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — South Korea says the two Koreas have restored a stalled communication channel after a hiatus in a small reconciliation step. The restoration of an inter-Korean hotlines came three days after North Korea said it had test-fired a newly developed anti-aircraft missile in the fourth round of weapons firings in recent weeks.
