Boats with decomposed bodies recently found floating offshore
TOKYO —
Japan is investigating nearly a dozen suspicious boats recently found drifting off the country’s coastline, some with decaying bodies aboard, officials said Friday, as media speculated they came from North Korea.
At least 11 cases involving wooden boats—some badly damaged—with 20 bodies on board have been reported during October and November, a coast guard spokesman told AFP.
