STORYLINE:
A
South Korean navy patrol boat riddled with bullet holes was raised on Wednesday, eight weeks after it sank in a deadly gunbattle with
North Korean warships near the peninsula's disputed western sea border.
Navy divers fastened the 150-ton boat with steel chains and lifted it from the muddy bottom 25 metres (82 feet) underwater.
The salvage crew hoisted it onto a barge as sea water gushed from hundreds of bullet holes and four soccer ball-sized holes created by the impact of North Korean shells.
The "Chamsuri 357" will be carried to a navy base in Pyongtaek south of
Seoul on Thursday.
Military investigators will examine the boat to help reconstruct the June 29 naval clash that killed five South Korean sailors and injured 19 others.
North Korea acknowledged an unspecified number of casualties.
South and North Korea accused each other of triggering the 21-minute gunbattle.
South Korea said
North Korean navy ships entered its territorial waters and opened fire on its patrol boat.
North Korea doesn't accept the
U.N.-imposed sea borderline and accused
Southern ships of intruding on its waters and initiating the clash.
North Korea later expressed regret over the incident and proposed to resume talks with South Korea.
Last week, Cabinet-level negotiators from the two
Koreas held three days of talks in Seoul and agreed to resume discussions on a host of stalled economic and other exchanges.
Officers from the
U.S.-led U.N.
Command and the
North Korean military met at the border village of
Panmunjom on Monday and discussed measures to prevent similar clashes in the future.
The Koreas were divided in
1945.
The U.N. Command oversees the
1953 armistice that ended the three-year
Korean War.
The United States keeps 37-thousand troops in the South as a deterrent against the
North.
