North Korea is believed to hold the missing South Korean 41-ton boat and its crews after the ship penetrated the North Korea’s sea border.

Coast guard authorities in South Korea believed that their squidding vessel was been impounded by the North Korean government after the ship entered the restricted economic zone and border of the north. They also stated that the North Korean border prohibited foreign fishing boats to enter into their sea territories.

However, there is no direct confirmation been given by the North Korean government as of this time with regard to the allegation that they have impounded the South’s sea vessel.

There is a growing conflict between the two Korean countries, after the South Korea allegedly involved North Korea in torpedoing their Cheonan warship, which killed 46 of its sailors in March. However, the north government denied the allegation being thrown unto them, and they described South’s accusation towards them as a justification towards the joint military training f the South Korea with the United States.

After the result of the attack made by the North to South Cheonan warship, the military across the South Korea are now conducting joint naval exercises with the United States, which involves around 4,500 troops and over two dozen ships.

The ship had three Chinese crew members and four South Korean crews who were on board in the Daeseung 55. They left Pohang port in the South Korea and scheduled to go back to the seaport on September 10.

The South Korean fisheries had their contact with the people aboard in the ship, and the crewmember of the boat via phone satellite. The man stated that their boat was pulled to Songjin for crew interrogation in the eastern coast of the North Korea on Sunday. Afterwards, their communications with the crews are then cut off; they never heard anything about the crews after that.

South Korean government is hoping that their crews and ship will return safe into their country according to international laws.
