Yonhap said the seized ship was carrying coal and iron ore with ten crew members.

South Korea detained a cargo ship near the Korea Strait on Thursday, June 20. The reason for this was the suspicion of violation of UN Security Council sanctions against North Korea. This was reported by Yonhap news agency.

The seized 2,900-ton, foreign ship carrying coal and iron ore with a crew of ten was en route from Russia to China, likely via North Korea.

The ship is now anchored in Busan on the southeast coast of the country.

UN Resolution 2397, adopted in 2017, allows South Korea to detain, inspect and arrest any vessel in its territorial waters suspected of engaging in illicit activities with the DPRK.

Let’s remember that Russia started direct oil supplies to North Korea, ignoring UN sanctions in exchange for arms.

The South Korean Ministry of Defense also reported that North Korea sent about 7,000 containers with ammunition and other military equipment to Russia.
