Two N. Korean nationals found adrift in West Sea on March 7 aboard small wooden boat

Two North Korean nationals are facing questioning here in South Korea after being found adrift in the West Sea earlier this month.

The South Korean Navy's maritime patrol aircraft detected the boat some one-hundred-70 kilometers west of Eocheongdo a little after 11 in the morning on March 7th.

They reportedly unintentionally crossed the Northern Limit Line owing to a malfunction in their small wooden boat.

And as they have not expressed any intention to defect South Korea is reviewing its options of sending them home as all cross-border communication has been severed.
