[Moscow 27th Reuters]-Russian border security authorities seized three North Korean fishing boats that caught poaching on December 27 and detained more than 200 people. Interfax communication reported. The capture of North Korean fishing boats by Russian authorities has been unusual, but this will be the second time in two weeks.

They seized North Korean fishing boats that were poached in Russia's exclusive economic zone (EEZ) on the Far East coast and restrained 262 fishermen. According to security authorities, 30,000 squid and illegal fishing gear were seized, and fishing boats and motorboats were anchored at Nakhodka's port.

The Russian government explained that this fishing boat seizure would not adversely affect the relationship with North Korea.

The Russian government also seized two North Korean fishing boats in the Russian territorial waters of the Japan Sea on the 17th. One ship attacked a Russian guard boat before the capture.
