SEOUL, South Korea — A South Korean cargo ship was rocked by an explosion off the country’s west coast Sunday, leaving five people dead and six others missing, officials said. The unexplained explosion tore apart the front of the ship and left the 4,198-ton vessel half-submerged, coast guard officials said. Two of the five bodies had serious external wounds, suggesting they were killed by the explosion, coast guard officer Kim Dong-jin said. [...]
The explosion occurred relatively far from the tense sea border with North Korea, and the coast guard doesn’t suspect the North was involved, coast guard officer Ko Jae-young said.
