South Korea's military takes down Chinese cameras on bases
South Korea's military recently dismantled 1,300 surveillance cameras after a routine check revealed they were made in China, a military source told AFP.
The cameras have, among other things, been found on military bases, including near the heavily guarded border with North Korea.
The Chinese connections are seen as a security threat, but according to South Korea, no data has actually been leaked, reports Yonhap.

Mysterious humming from Greenland was giant tsunami
A mysterious rumble for nine days last fall has eluded researchers. The seismological signal was picked up by instruments all over the world.
A new study published in the scientific journal Science establishes the reason. There was a giant landslide in Greenland that gave rise to a 200 meter high tsunami. The wave was "caught" in a narrow fjord and moved back and forth for just over a week, generating vibrations.
- No one has ever seen anything like it, says Kristian Svennevig, lead author of the study, according to NBC News.
This type of landslide is occurring more and more frequently as a result of climate change, as Greenland's icebergs melt, scientists say according to the BBC.
25 million cubic meters of rock and ice collapsed into the fjord. It can be compared with 40 pieces of the Globe, according to Vetenskapsradion.
