The North Korean military allegedly shot at least one Chinese national for illegally fishing in territorial waters back in 2015, according to government documents recently obtained by The Epoch Times. Chinese authorities have concealed the incident from the public.

Dandong city’s municipal government issued reports in 2015 and 2016 regarding the attacks on Chinese fishermen by North Korean soldiers. The Epoch Times obtained these documents from a trusted source who requested anonymity due to security concerns.
