The North Korean government has captured North Korean 'pirates' in the nearby East Sea, an unnamed source told South Korean daily Chosun Ilbo on Tuesday.
Based out of a port in Hongwon, Hamgyeongnam-do, the 'pirates' attacked North Korean ships and fishing boats and merchant ships from China and Russia over a period of four years, the paper said, before being arrested by North Korean authorities for causing damage to the DPRK's foreign trade.
