North Korea has changed time zone to match the South after last week's inter-Korean summit, according to state media.


At 23:30 local time (15:00 GMT) on Friday the country's clocks moved forward 30 minutes to midnight.


The reset is "the first practical step" to speed up Korean unification, the official KCNA news agency said.
