North Korea Olympics ferry arrives in South
A North Korean ferry has arrived in South Korea carrying a 140-member arts troupe to perform during the Winter Olympics this week, taking advantage of a rare sanctions exemption from Seoul.
The 9,700-tonne ferry, the Mangyongbong 92, which last visited 16 years ago, was escorted into the eastern South Korean port of Mukho, where throngs of protesters held large photos of the North's leader, Kim Jong-un.
Dozens of riot police with shields kept order as the ferry berthed. Protesters also waved South Korean and US flags while singing the South Korean national anthem. No unified Korea flags could be spotted in the crowd.
South and North Korea will march under a unified Korea flag at the opening of the Games while the two Koreas will also field a united women's ice hockey team.
