South Korea announced Monday that it would respect the wishes of two North Koreans to defect after their boat drifted into the South’s waters, but said that it would return a third who wanted to go back to North Korea. The three, described by the North as fishermen, were picked up by a South Korean ship on Saturday off the country’s east coast, the South said. The third North Korean will be repatriated on Tuesday. North Korean fishing boats that sail near the maritime border sometimes cross the unmarked line inadvertently, and many of the crews opt to be repatriated.
