South Korea rescued 10 fishermen from North Korea who had gone adrift and returned each of them to the North, the Ministry of Unification said Wednesday.
The fishermen’s vessel reportedly had a malfunctioning engine, causing it to drift off course. South Korean authorities located them near the Dokdo islets Sunday.
