Japan publishes further evidence of North Korean ship-to-ship activity
DPRK vessel involved in illicit STS transfer was sanctioned by U.S. Treasury on Friday
The Japanese government on Tuesday published further evidence of North Korean vessels engaged in ship-to-ship (STS) transfers on the high seas, a practice prohibited by UN Security Council (UNSC) sanctions.
The posts on multiple government websites include photographs of the STS transfer taking place on the morning of February 24 between a North Korean ship and a vessel flying a Maldives flag.
