Cargo ships suspected of containing North Korean coal arrived at two major South Korean ports in Incheon and Pohang in October, via the Russian port of
Kholmsk, according to a June 27 U.N.
But the secretive Communist state has at least three times since then shipped coal to the Russian ports of Nakhodka and
Kholmsk, where it was unloaded at docks and reloaded onto ships that took it to South Korea or Japan, the sources said.

Kholmsk, then taken to their new places of residence.
The Simushir is registered in
Kholmsk, Russia, and owned by Russian shipping firm SASCO, also known as Sakhalin Shipping Company, according to the company's website.
