S. Korea Fires Warning Shots at Boat
 

SEOUL, South Korea — The South Korean Navy fired warning shots at a North Korean fishing boat on Wednesday after the vessel strayed across the two Koreas’ border on the Yellow Sea, the Defense Ministry said.

The North Korean boat then retreated to the northern side of the line, the ministry said.

The countries have had violent exchanges before along their disputed maritime border, and a South Korean naval vessel sank there in March, killing 46 sailors.

I assume it retreated back across the demarcation line at a brisk 28 knots... :03:

Yes,right...:o

They were in a boat out fishing.

The report is factual ;)

Accuracy, but a possible "innocent" event

Business as usual. :haha:

"But I've got to prove myself to him somehow," Kim said. "He'll kill me if I don't."
 

It speaks to both respect, ineptitude and insanity!

It was a fishing boat just not fishing fish :D

Next rumour will probably be along the lines of....."minelaying".

Or it might be purposely put there to entice harsh reaction from the South Korean Navy...to justify a retaliation. . . who knows

It may well be that it was a mistake, they saw a shark in the water and wanted to use fish as a target, and it all went wrong, and tracked out....

Only common North Koreans are too poor to own a fishing boat and they would likely avoid hotly contested waters and would listen to and obey hail from military vessel.:DL

Saw that one the other day :haha:

The article speaks for itself ..:cool:
