S. Korea Repatriates 2 N. Koreans Found on Drifting Boat

South Korea has repatriated two North Koreans after rescuing them and two other sailors in the East Sea earlier this month.

Seoul's Unification Ministry on Friday revealed that two sailors crossed the northern limit line(NLL) maritime border earlier in the day where North Korean authorities received them.
 
The remaining two, a father in his fifties and his son in his twenties, expressed their wishes to defect to South Korea. 

The four sailors were rescued from two drifting boats on June second and third.
