Chinese fishermen 'stab South Korean coast guards'

A group of Chinese fishermen have stabbed two South Korean coast guards who had stopped them on suspicion of fishing illegally, Seoul officials say.

The coast guard agency said one of the men had died, and the other was being treated for his wounds in hospital.
The Chinese boat was spotted fishing in the Yellow Sea off Incheon.
There have been a number of incidents involving Chinese sailors and the authorities of other countries in recent months.
Last month, the crew of a Chinese fishing boat was briefly detained by Japan for entering its coastal waters.
Similar arrests last year in disputed waters sparked a major diplomatic confrontation between Japan and China.
And in the South China Sea, Chinese vessels have several times angered the authorities of other countries with apparent incursions.
