Pyongyang accused Tokyo Saturday of deliberately sinking a North Korean fishing boat that collided with a Japanese patrol vessel earlier this week in waters claimed by North Korea.

A North Korean flag flies on a mast at the Permanent Mission of North Korea in Geneva October 2, 2014.

The ship is believed to have been fishing illegally in Japanese waters, with experts saying some North Korean fishermen are traveling further to satisfy Pyongyang’s mandates for bigger catches. “A patrol ship of the Japanese Fisheries Agency committed a gangster act of sinking our fishing vessel which was on a normal navigation in the waters of East Sea of Korea,” the spokesperson said in a statement on the official Korean Central News Agency.
