SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — North Korean fishing boats crossed
the Koreas' tense western sea boundary and retreated soon after
being warned Wednesday in the second such violation this
year, South Korea said. No fighting erupted though the border is
one the North has long refused to recognize.

A North Korean government boat briefly crossed the boundary
while trying to guide the seven fishing boats back to North
Korean-controlled waters, a South Korean Defense Ministry
official said on condition of anonymity, citing office rules.

Later Wednesday, seven North Korean boats again violated the
boundary, but they all sailed back after a warning was
broadcast, the official said. It wasn't clear whether they were the
same seven boats that earlier crossed.
Seoul says North Korean fishing boats last crossed in April. The
disputed sea boundary is not clearly marked, and incursions by North
Korean military and fishing boats are not unusual. Violence often
erupts in the seafood-rich waters, and three naval clashes since 1999
have taken a few dozen lives.

After the Korean War ended nearly 60 years ago with a truce, not
with a peace treaty, the U.S.-led U.N. Command divided the Yellow
Sea without Pyongyang's consent. The boundary cut North Korea off
from rich fishing waters, and Pyongyang has contested the line ever
since.

North Korea shelled a front-line South Korean island near the
boundary in November 2010, killing four people. Earlier in 2010, an
explosion ripped apart a South Korean warship in the area, killing 46
sailors. Seoul said Pyongyang torpedoed the vessel. North Korea
denies responsibility.
