Russian border guard followed New Star since 3:41 till 10:10. At 10:10 some warning shots were made, but there was no reaction. At 10:51 Russian border guard made some shots at the fore end. The captain of New Star did not stop. More than five hours later, at 16:15, the border guard had to open fire aiming the ship's engine. <BR/><BR/>After this attack, the captain reported that there are dead or wounded among the crew and that the ship is returning to Nakhodka. <BR/><BR/>At 07:55 next day, New Star signalled SOS and the crew began leaving the ship. The weather conditions (wind 28 mps, waves up to 7 meters, water temperature +4-6°C) were harsh, but the border guards saved 8 people.Dimitrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11307446029353729137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35604308.post-66594433950385097472009-02-23T18:40:00.000-08:002009-02-23T18:40:00.000-08:00Fascinating-I agree WTF??
