North Korea says it will deport US soldier Travis King, who ran across the border from South Korea during a tour in July.
Pyongyang will deport him having finished its investigation into King's "illegal" entry, state news agency KNCA said.
It did not specify how, when or to where Private King would be expelled - nor what his state of health was.
The announcement comes a month after North Korea acknowledged detaining him.
According to KCNA, the 23-year-old confessed to having illegally crossed into North Korea "due to inhuman treatment in the US military, antipathy to racism and disillusionment with the unequal US society."
"The relevant body in the Democratic People's Republic of Korea has decided to deport US soldier Travis King, who illegally entered the territory of the republic, in accordance with the laws of the republic," it said.
Private King, a reconnaissance specialist who had been in the army since January 2021, has not been heard from or seen since his crossing.
He was in South Korea as part of his rotation and had been due to be sent home to the US to be disciplined after spending two months in detention in
South Korea on assault charges.
Private King was on a guided tour of the Demilitarised Zone (DMZ), which separates the two Koreas, when he left the group and ran across the border.
The two countries are technically still at war after the Korean War ended with an armistice in the 1950s. Tens of thousands of US troops remain in the South.
In recent years, several American citizens who illegally entered North Korea - excluding those convicted of criminal activity there - have been freed within six months.
Some have been returned home by air via Beijing. They include missionary Robert Park, who was freed in 2010 after being held for more than a month, and the US Korean War veteran Merill Newman.

北韓正在驅逐越境的美國士兵
北韓表示將驅逐美國士兵特拉維斯金（Travis King），他在 7 月訪問韓國期間越過邊境。
北韓國家通訊社稱，平壤在完成對金「非法」入境的調查後將驅逐他。
它沒有具體說明二等兵國王將如何、何時或去哪裡被驅逐，也沒有具體說明他的健康狀況如何。
這項消息是在北韓承認拘留他一個月後發布的。
據朝中社報道，這名23歲的男子承認「由於美軍的不人道待遇、對種族主義的反感以及對不平等的美國社會的幻滅」而非法越境進入朝鮮。
朝鮮民主主義人民共和國相關機構決定，根據朝鮮法律，驅逐非法入境的美國士兵特拉維斯·金。
二等兵金是偵察專家，自 2021 年 1 月起入伍，自越境以來就再也沒有音訊或音訊。
他在韓國輪換，在韓國被拘留了兩個月後，本應被送回美國接受紀律處分。
韓國面臨攻擊指控。
二等兵金在導遊的帶領下參觀了分隔兩個朝鮮的非軍事區（DMZ），當時他離開了隊伍並跑過邊境。
韓戰於 20 世紀 50 年代停戰後，兩國嚴格意義上仍處於戰爭狀態。 數萬名美軍仍留在南方。
近年來，幾名非法進入北韓的美國公民（不包括那些因在北韓從事犯罪活動而被定罪的人）在六個月內獲釋。
有些人已透過北京乘飛機回國。 其中包括被關押一個多月後於2010年獲釋的傳教士羅伯特·帕克，以及美國韓戰老兵梅里爾·紐曼。
