SEOUL: A South Korean ship has been detained for six months on suspicion of violating United Nations (UN) sanctions against the nuclear-armed North, Seoul’s foreign ministry said Wednesday. Pyongyang is sanctioned over its weapons program under multiple UN Security Council resolutions, which include curbs on shipments of oil and fuel to the isolated regime. But the North has been seeking to get around the measures, with a recent UN report saying that Pyongyang was securing deliveries of fuel through ship-to-ship transfers in international waters.
