In March of 2010, a single North Korean submarine slipped past the border and torpedoed a ROK naval vessel (the ROKS Cheonan), killing 46 sailors – many of them young conscripts and NCOs. Roughly ten years ago today, as evidence mounted that Pyongyang was responsible for the attack, the ROK government announced the May 24 Measures: a set of sweeping inter-Korean sanctions that cut off inter-Korean trade, banned travel of ROK citizens to the North, and shut the ROK’s maritime borders to © Korea Risk Group.
