More than 100 South Koreans are heading across the border for reunions with their North Korean relatives - the first such events since 2010.

The reunions, which come after North Korea called for better relations between the two sides, are taking place from 20 to 25 February.

They are held for families separated after the Korean War. The relatives have not seen each other for decades.

They come ahead of planned US-South Korea drills, which begin on Monday.

North Korea had earlier threatened to cancel the reunions if the military exercises went ahead.
