DPRK not likely involved in ROK's warship sinking

CHANCES seem low that the Democratic People's Republic of Korea is involved in its warship sinking, South Korea's Yonhap News Agency reported today, citing multiple officials at the Presidential office of Cheong Wa Dae.

"It is hard to say for sure now, but chances appear to be slim that North (DPRK) was related," a senior official also told Yonhap on the condition of anonymity.

Cheong Wa Dae said that there has been no "unusual move" by Pyongyang so far despite initial media reports that the DPRK " might be to blame for the incident" that happened last night near the disputed western sea border between the two sides.

The exact reason for the explosion which caused the sinking of 1,200 ton warship was not confirmed.
