A South Korean fishing boat may have been detained by North Korea off the peninsula’s east coast after the communist country threatened “physical retaliation” against the South’s joint military drills with the U.S.
The 41-ton Daeseung has not been in contact since its last communication through satellite phone at 2:35 p.m. local time today that it was being taken away by a North Korean patrol ship, an official at the Korea Coast Guard said by telephone, confirming a Yonhap News report.
