North Korea confirmed it seized a South Korean fishing boat last week off the communist country’s east coast for violation of the maritime border.
North Korea is investigating the four South Korean and three Chinese crew members, who had “confessed that they intruded into the economic waters,” the state-run Korean Central News Agency reported. The North Korean navy captured the boat on Aug. 8 at around 10:15 a.m. local time, the report said.
