The new orders have changed this practice, Daily NK sources said.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThe order instructed navy vessels to have fishing vessels and other ships report their location every hour, and report weather conditions every three hours,\u201d one of the sources said. \u201cThe naval vessels were also ordered to remain in constant radio contact with their naval bases.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThe order also contained the command to intensify the surveillance and regulation of ships in each zone,\u201d continued the source. \u201cThe orders issued were all-encompassing, meant to maintain complete control over the area of ocean under jurisdiction.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The orders included detailed instructions about how to respond to navy ships \u201cgoing out of contact.\u201d This is interesting because the instructions clearly are aimed at preventing ships from taking unorthodox measures to get out of contact with their superiors.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cAccording to the orders, when communications have been interrupted for over 10 minutes, the general staff division must immediately use wired and wireless devices, activity records, wire communications and various wartime communication networks and electronic warfare systems to locate the vessel in question,\u201d said the source. \u201cHere, it was also emphasized that the staff should also actively collaborate with nearby air force units.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>INCREASING DEFECTIONS BY SEA<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">North Korea\u2019s move to strengthen rules covering how naval vessels should behave is likely related to recent and increasing attempts by North Koreans to defect by sea. In fact, the order directly followed the repatriation, via Panmunjom, of two North Koreans who had defected to South Korea over the East Sea.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Daily NK also recently reported a family was arrested off the coast of Hongwon County in South Hamgyong Province while attempting to defect in a wooden vessel.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">North Korean authorities seem to be acting in anticipation of such situations arising again, and attempting to \u201cseal off the entire coast,\u201d after a fashion, said sources.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">North Korean authorities are essentially trying to seal off the country\u2019s entire coast, military sources told Daily NK.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThe houses battleships are on patrol at night has been increased by two hours,\u201d one of the sources said. \u201cMany in the military are speculating that something big must have happened to spark all of these changes.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><em>*Translated by Violet Kim<\/em><\/p>\n<p><i>Please direct any comments or questions about this article to dailynkenglish@uni-media.net.<\/i><\/p>\n<p><em>The Korean version of this article can be found <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailynk.com\/%ED%95%B4%EC%83%81-%ED%83%88%EB%B6%81-%EC%B0%A8%EB%8B%A8-%EB%82%98%EC%84%A0-%E5%8C%97%ED%95%B4%EA%B5%B0-%ED%86%B5%EC%8B%A0%EB%91%90%EC%A0%88%EC%8B%9C-%EA%B3%B5%EA%B5%B0%EB%B6%80%EB%8C%80%EC%99%80\/\">here<\/a>.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>North Korean authorities issued an order to the country\u2019s navy on Nov. 7 to intensify control over passing fishing vessels as well as other ships in the East Sea, Daily NK learned on Nov. 18.\u00a0 The order issued instructions for the navy to clearly understand the location of fishing vessels and other ships; to improve [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":130,"featured_media":42967,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"wikipediapreview_detectlinks":true,"footnotes":""},"categories":[67],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-42966","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.7 (Yoast SEO v28.1) -
