SEOUL, South Korea (AP) - Trade between North and South Korea apparently continues despite their bloody naval skirmish last week.
A North Korean cargo ship arrived in a South Korean port today after departing North Korea last Thursday, two days after the neighboring countries clashed along their disputed western sea border.
A Unification Ministry spokeswoman says other North Korean ships had also passed through South Korean waters following the skirmish, and that some South Korean ships have sailed to North Korean ports.
North Korea had warned it would take unspecified military action to defend itself following the first clash at sea in seven years. A senior South Korean military officer said the fighting left one North Korean crew member dead and three others wounded. South Korea suffered no casualties.
