UN begins probe into Korean ship sinking

The UN Command’s Military Armistice Commission has started an inquiry into whether the sinking of a South Korean naval ship blamed on North Korea broke the Korean War truce.

UN Command spokesman Kim Young-kyu said representatives from 11 countries will review the findings of a multi-national probe into the sinking of the ship to determine the scope of any North Korean armistice violations.

South Korea has announced that the probe determined that a North Korean torpedo sank the ship in March.
