For some time now, South Korea has been miss­ing an employ­ee of the fish­eries author­i­ty. His shoes are found on a patrol boat. In the mean­time there is spec­u­la­tion about an escape to North Korea. Now there is intel­li­gence infor­ma­tion on the fate of the offi­cer — and a bad sus­pi­cion. North Kore­an secu­ri­ty forces shot a South Kore­an offi­cial in an inci­dent in the state’s marine area, accord­ing to Seoul. As the South Kore­an Min­istry of Defense announced, the 47-year-old employ­ee of the fish­eries author­i­ty dis­ap­peared from his patrol boat under unclear cir­cum­stances and then end­ed up in North Kore­an waters. The man was then shot by North Kore­an secu­ri­ty forces, said the Defense Min­istry in Seoul on the basis of the analy­sis of intel­li­gence infor­ma­tion. His body was then cre­mat­ed in North Korea. The South Kore­an Min­istry called the inci­dent “egre­gious”. All respon­si­bil­i­ty for the inci­dent rests with North Korea.

Accord­ing to the South Kore­an news agency Yon­hap, there is infor­ma­tion that North Korea burned the official’s body after the shoot­ing as a mea­sure to pre­vent the spread of the coro­n­avirus. The com­man­der of the US troops sta­tioned in South Korea, Robert Abrams, said two weeks ago that mem­bers of a North Kore­an spe­cial force had received an order to shoot pos­si­ble smug­glers from Chi­na to pre­vent the coro­n­avirus from being intro­duced. Accord­ing to the Min­istry, the man had been trav­el­ing near the South Kore­an island of Yeon­pyeong before he dis­ap­peared. Accord­ing to media reports, the man’s shoes were found on the patrol boat. This sparked spec­u­la­tion that he might have tried to ven­ture into North Korea. In July, a North Kore­an who fled south three years ago secret­ly returned to North Korea across the heav­i­ly secured bor­der. Ten­sions between the two Kore­an states have increased sig­nif­i­cant­ly since the fail­ure of a sum­mit meet­ing between North Kore­an ruler Kim Jong Un and US Pres­i­dent Don­ald Trump in Feb­ru­ary of last year. Since then, nego­ti­a­tions between the Unit­ed States and North Korea about dis­man­tling the North Kore­an nuclear pro­gram have been on hold.
