North Korean Naval Ship Mysteriously Sank

By Noah Rayman Nov. 04, 2013

A North Korean naval vessel sank last month, according to media reports in North and South Korea, but the details, including the number of causalities and the reason, remain a mystery.

In a rare report on a military mishap, the North’s official news agency said Saturday that an unspecified number of deaths occurred while a submarine chaser was performing “combat duties,” the Associated Press reports. State media also reported that leader Kim Jong Un visited a military cemetery and displayed images of the leader beside stone markers inscribed with “Oct. 13.”

In South Korea, a media report citing an unidentified military source said the vessel was built in the 1960s and may have sank as a result of its age.

2. Hope the same happens to the Pueblo

I am mean-spirited enough to hope that the captured US ship Pueblo sinks at its North Korean pier for similar reasons.
