The Chosun Ilbo (English Edition): Daily News from Korea - Why Did N.Korea Seize S.Korean Fishing Boat?:
It remains unclear whether a South Korean fishing boat seized by a North Korean patrol on Sunday had strayed into the North's territorial waters or their so-called exclusive economic zone, but there is speculation that the North seized the vessel and crew to use them as bargaining chips in negotiations with South Korea.
A Unification Ministry official said this would be the first case where a South Korean ship that was seized in the North Korean EEZ was dragged to a North Korean port.
North Korea has not yet officially informed South Korea of the seizure. The North fired around 130 artillery rounds near the maritime border in the West Sea on Monday.
