A North Korean fishing boat was captured by the South Korean Navy a day after North Korea fired two missiles. The boat apparently crossed into South Korean waters, and they captured it. South Korea believes that the missile tests are due to U.S.-South Korean military drills. Recently, North and South Korea have been firing bullets onto each others territory, and who knows what's to come of it.
This must be really scary for the people living in both North and South Korea. Their governments are disagreeing and with South Korea so close, who knows what North Korea is planning on doing. Hopefully there won't be a war because that costs money that we don't have, and who knows what weapons North Korea has.

I would be extra careful if I was a fisherman, if the Koreans are that strict about borders.
ReplyDeleteI guess they captured the boat because the tension had gotten so high? It's scary that North Korea is firing missiles for an unknown reason, especially to South Koreans because of their proximity and hostility towards each other. Sucks that the fisherman had to be captured through the confusion, though.
