North Korean agent killed

SOUTH KOREA demanded an apology after reporting its warships and fighters had chased and sunk an intruding North Korean vessel, killing at least one North Korean agent in a firefight off the southern coast. The body of the armed North Korean agent was found close to where the vessel, which resembles a dark speedboat, was sunk before dawn in South Korean waters.
