(CNN) -- North Korea on Thursday proposed working-level military talks with South Korea, the Yonhap news agency reported.

The North's request could signal further easing of cross-border tensions, but South Korea reacted skeptically to the complex proposed agenda, Yonhap said, citing defense officials from the South.

Pyongyang asked to discuss the two countries' de facto sea border on the west coast. North Korea wants the border, known as the Northern Limit Line, redrawn farther south. Deadly naval clashes between North and South took place along the Northern Limit Line in 1999, 2002 and 2009.
