North Korea detains Russian ship

A Russian cargo ship has been detained and boarded by armed coastguard agents in North Korean waters, Russian maritime officials say.
No reason was given for the search, but Russian sources said the ship may have gone too close to a missile test site.
"This is a small two-hold ship. It is quite possible that weather conditions forced it to move closer to the coast."

Sounds like North Korea is at ir's normal level of jumpiness. It seems to me a bit extreme to board and detain a small, easily searchable ship with two holds that has most likely come in to shelter from a storm.
I don't think NK has any missile tests scheduled too soon.

Just thought I'd post up for those interested.

Did we sell Russia the Pueblo?

Just a thought....
