One person died during the detention of fishermen from the DPRK in Russian waters
Russian border guards detained a North Korean fishing vessel "Dae Yang 10" in the Sea of Japan, on board of which "illegally harvested aquatic biological resources" were found. During the detention, the border guards had to open fire, as a result of which one of the fishermen died, according to the FSB website.
The ship, carrying 48 people, was stopped in the "exclusive economic zone" of the Russian Federation on the morning of October 15. An inspection team and members of the FSB special forces landed on board. At about 5 pm (11 am Moscow time), according to the FSB, the crew steered the ship towards the DPRK and did not stop after warning shots.
When a border boat opened fire on the propeller-steering group of a fishing vessel, the fishermen attacked the border guards, and one of them was wounded in the head. After that, "the employees of the FSB of Russia consistently carried out warning shooting and shooting to kill from small arms." As a result, nine people were injured, one of them died.
The Department of Transport of the RF IC has begun an investigation in connection with the attack on a Russian border guard.
As of 22.30 (15.30 Moscow time), the wounded were assisted, the crew of the offending vessel was evacuated to the border ships. The crews of the border ships are taking measures to deliver the wounded and tow the violating ship to Russian ports.
