South Korean ship sunk

On March 26 a South Korean ship sunk. The ship was in tense waters that was near a North Korean island. The South Koreans believe that North Korea might have shot down the navy ship with an explosive. Some believe that it might have been an old North Korean mine from many years ago. Many died from the the accident and around 40 are still missing and might be dead as well.

This is globally important because this is the longest on going war. There has never been a peace treaty signed between North and South Korea ever since they split so they have constantly been at war. It is very tense between them and the smallest mess up could cause an all out war. If South Korea finds out that North Korea intentionally sank their ship this could cause a huge war. Possibly a nuclear war.
