Seoul: A North Korean ship being tracked by the US is believed to be sailing toward Myanmar, South Korea's television network YTN has quoted an unidentified South Korean intelligence source as saying.
In what would be the first test case for new UN Security Council agreed sanctions, US officials said on Thursday the American Navy had begun tracking a North Korean-flagged ship which may be carrying illicit weapons.
The officials said the ship left a port in North Korea on Wednesday and was in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of China on Thursday.
Seoul's Defence Ministry and Unification Ministry said Sunday they could not confirm the report.
