S. Korea Arrests US Citizens Over Bottles to North

Israa Farhan South Korean authorities have arrested six American nationals for allegedly attempting to send plastic bottles filled with aid and religious materials across the sea to North Korea from Ganghwa Island, located in the port city of Incheon. According to South Korea's Yonhap News Agency, the group, ranging in age from their 20s to 50s, was caught in the early hours of Friday trying to launch about 1,300 plastic bottles. Each container was reportedly filled with rice, one-dollar bills, and copies of the Bible. The group was discovered by a coastal surveillance unit, which immediately notified the police. Ganghwa Island has been designated a restricted zone since November under an administrative order that prohibits sending leaflets or any materials toward North Korea, as part of efforts by the South Korean government to reduce provocations and maintain cross-border stability. The individuals are currently being investigated on suspicion of violating South Korea's Disaster and Safety Management Act. Authorities are interrogating with the assistance of translators, as the suspects do not speak Korean. read more Gold prices rise, 21 Karat at EGP 3685 NATO's Role in Israeli-Palestinian Conflict US Expresses 'Strong Opposition' to New Turkish Military Operation in Syria Shoukry Meets Director-General of FAO Lavrov: confrontation bet. nuclear powers must be avoided News Iran Summons French Ambassador over Foreign Minister Remarks News Aboul Gheit Condemns Israeli Escalation in West Bank News Greek PM: Athens Plays Key Role in Improving Energy Security in Region News One Person Injured in Explosion at Ukrainian Embassy in Madrid News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier Sports Former Al Zamalek Player Ibrahim Shika Passes away after Long Battle with Cancer Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Business Fear & Greed Index Plummets to Lowest Level Ever Recorded amid Global Trade War Arts & Culture Zahi Hawass: Claims of Columns Beneath the Pyramid of Khafre Are Lies News Flights suspended at Port Sudan Airport after Drone Attacks Videos & Features Video: Trending Lifestyle TikToker Valeria Márquez Shot Dead during Live Stream News Shell Unveils Cost-Cutting, LNG Growth Plan Technology 50-Year Soviet Spacecraft 'Kosmos 482' Crashes into Indian Ocean
