- BY YUNA PARK and HYUNJOO JIN

A SECOND ship has been seized by South Korea amid claims it was flouting UN sanctions by supplying oil to North Korea.

The tanker, Koti, with a Chinese and Burmese crew, was held in port by South Korean intelligen­ce and customs.

It follows the seizure of the Lighthouse Winmore tanker in November, which was accused of transferri­ng 600 tonnes of oil at sea to a North Korean ship.

Supplies to Kim Jongun’s rogue regime are being restricted after its nuclear or ballistic missile tests.

South Korean’s Foreign Ministry said: “The government has been in close consultati­ons with related countries and ministries to implement sanctions by the UN Security Council.”
