Another nork sub attack or a nork floating mine?
Either way I bet the South covers up whatever results they find.

Probably correct, but who could blame them? With the North's army and China on the other end of things, who can they count on in a war?

Off topic... Google Incheon and look at the map of Korea. Nothing shows for N Korea, just white space. Never noticed that before,

Tanker, freighter; what’s the diff to a ‘modern’ reporter?

Looks like the result of one of those torpedoes that explode under the ship to break it’s spine.

You know the north loves to push the Souths buttons.
