Small North Korean Military Boat Caught Crossing the Maritime DMZ

Does anyone believe this was a mistake by the North Korean military?:

 A fishing boat apparently operated by North Korea’s military has been towed into a South Korean port for investigation after “mistakenly” sailing across the inter-Korean sea border, the military authorities here said Sunday.

Three North Koreans, one wearing the communist nation’s military uniform, were aboard the 10-meter-long wooden boat, according to the Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS).

Asked initially if they have a desire to defect to the South, they said no, according to a source. 

But the military took them to the port to figure out the exact reason for the NLL crossing. An interagency probe team is looking into the personal backgrounds of the North Koreans and their intentions.

They the ROK navy is asleep at watch…just seeing what the best times are to slip thru. Shorten service time, shorten training times and a general lackadaisical attitude to their jobs…The ROK military today.

, you with the conspiracy theories! They were probably just out trying to catch some fish to supplement the sumptuous diet they are fed by the NK military.

I agree with Tagum City Tim. They have subs to do recon.
