The United States says it has seized a North Korean ship that was used to violate international sanctions. The incident was announced hours after North Korea fired what appeared to be two short-range, or distance, missiles on Thursday. The “Wise Honest” is North Korea’s second largest cargo ship. It was used to transport North Korean coal to China, Russia and other countries. American officials said it was detained during an April 2018 stop in Indonesia. The ship will be moved to American Samoa in the Pacific. Officials made the announcement just hours after North Korea fired the missiles. But they said the announcement was not related to the missile launch. South Korean officials said the weapons launched on Thursday traveled 420 kilometers and 270 kilometers before falling into the sea. It was the second weapons launch from North Korea in five days.
