South Korea on Wednesday returned 10 North Korean fishermen rescued from their boat drifting in the South's eastern waters, the unification ministry said.

The South handed over the vessel and the fishermen to the North at around 1:30 a.m. through the Northern Limit Line (NLL) in the East Sea.

It had an engine glitch and was found near the uninhabited islets of Dokdo on Sunday night.

All of them expressed their desire to go back to the North, the ministry said.

Despite military tensions, the two Koreas have the practice of repatriating civilians who accidentally land in each other's territory in a humanitarian move. (Yonhap)


독도 근해서 표류중 구조 北어선 오늘 새벽 송환

동해에서 표류하다가 우리측에 구조된 북한 어선이 26일 북한으로 돌아갔다. 

통일부에 따르면 이 배는 이날 오전 1시30분께 울릉도 북동쪽 67해리 지점 북방한계선(NLL) 부근에서 북측에 인계됐다. 

이 어선은 함경북도 김책항을 출항했으나 기관고장으로 표류하다가 지난 23일 독도 근해에서 발견돼 우리측 경비함정에 의해 예인됐다. 배에 탄 선원 10명도 희망에 따라 모두 북측으로 돌아갔다. (연합뉴스)
