[Breaking] North Korean Patrol Boat Crosses NLL... Retreats After Warning Shots Fired
[Asia Economy Yang Nak-gyu, Military Specialist Reporter] It has been confirmed that a North Korean patrol boat chasing a North Korean vessel heading south into our waters temporarily crossed the Northern Limit Line (NLL) near Baengnyeongdo in the West Sea on the 8th.
On that day, the Joint Chiefs of Staff stated, "The North Korean vessel crossed the NLL around 9:30 a.m. today about 10 km off Baengnyeongdo in the West Sea and is being towed to Baengnyeongdo for investigation."
During this process, when the North Korean patrol boat chasing the vessel temporarily violated the NLL, our navy fired warning shots, and the North Korean patrol boat immediately retreated.
It is known that the North Korean vessel that crossed the line had seven people on board, including six in military uniforms and one in civilian clothes. They were unarmed and are currently reported to have no intention of defecting.
