“Having resisted the border control officers, six North Korean citizens received injuries of varying severity, one of which later died, unfortunately,” said Vladimir Krasnov, head of the inquiry of the FSB border guard department of the Russian Federal Security Service in the Primorsky Territory, on the Russia 24 television channel.

The previously detained vessels of the DPRK, the crew of one of which attacked the Russian border guards, were taken to Nakhodka.

On September 17, the FSB reported that the crew of a North Korean schooner engaged in poaching attacked border guards in the Russian waters of the Sea of ​​Japan. As a result of the attack, four servicemen were injured.

Russian border guards detained 161 DPRK citizens. It was noted that there were victims among the detainees.
