北朝鲜货轮在黄海与中国船只碰撞,沉没并造成船员死亡。 North Korean cargo ship collides with Chinese vessel in Yellow Sea, sinking and causing crew deaths.

2月下旬,一艘涉嫌走私煤炭的北朝鲜货轮在黄海与一艘中国船相撞,沉没,造成约15至20名船员死亡。 A North Korean cargo ship, suspected of smuggling coal, collided with a Chinese ship in the Yellow Sea in late February, sinking and resulting in around 15-20 crew deaths. 朝鲜和中国都对这起事件保持缄默, 可能是为了避免强调违反联合国对朝鲜煤炭出口的制裁。 Both North Korea and China have kept quiet about the incident, possibly to avoid highlighting violations of UN sanctions on North Korean coal exports. 据报告,该船关闭了定位跟踪系统,以逃避探测。 The ship reportedly turned off its location-tracking system to evade detection.
