North Korea 'Violates' Sea Border With South Amid Drills -- BBC
A North Korean patrol boat violated a sea border with the South several times late on Monday, officials in Seoul say.
The ship spent a few hours south of the border, nearing a South Korean border island, before returning after repeated warnings from the South, they added.
North Korea disputes the maritime border and has sent boats across it in the past.
The incident comes amid joint military drills between the US and South Korea which are opposed by Pyongyang.
The North Korean patrol ship crossed the Northern Limit Line (NLL), which South Korea considers the maritime border between the two sides, at around 22:46 local time (13:46 GMT), South Korea's defence ministry said.
The South broadcast warnings 10 times before the ship returned, at around 02:25 local time (17:25 GMT), the ministry added.
