Earlier in the day the maritime police captured two Chinese trawlers found in South Korea's EEZ. The seizure took place 26 miles southwest of the same island, after the 86-ton ships were spotted illegally fishing in South Korea's EEZ around 6:00 a.m. The police discovered about 1,000 kilograms of fish on the two ships.
