N. Korean cargo ship visits Ulsan
SEOUL, April 13 (Yonhap) -- A North Korea-registered cargo ship carrying coal arrived in South Korea's port city of Ulsan Sunday amid increased cross-border tensions, according to maritime police.
The 2,496-ton freighter Changseong carrying a 29-member crew docked at the port, South Gyeongsang province, around 10:20 a.m. earlier in the day.
The ship carried 4,000 tons of coal, the first batch of 12,000 tons to be delivered by April 25, the police said.
The North Korean ship's arrival came as tensions mounted after the North kicked South Korean officials out of a joint industrial complex at Kaesong on March 27. The next day, the North test-fired missiles and accused Seoul of breaching the de facto sea border.
Also, the North has accused the South of planning a preemptive attack, and banned Seoul officials from entering the communist state.
