But the North Korean government, angry over an ambitious South Korean naval exercise due to end Monday, had said it would respond with “strong physical retaliation” and had warned civilian vessels to stay clear of the maritime border between the two Koreas.Four South Koreans and three Chinese crew members were aboard the squidding vessel, the Daeseung 55.
