#SEOUL, Jan. 17 (Yonhap) -- #SouthKorea on Wednesday imposed independent sanctions on 11 vessels and five individuals and entities engaged in illegal ship-to-ship transfers of oil and other products to #NorthKorea, tightening the sanctions against the North's maritime activities.

It also marks the first designation of sanctions on ships by the South Korean government in nearly eight years, the ministry said.

@mike805@noc.social Agree on the plug in hybrid EV variant. Specially where I live where public charging stations are currently non-existent. Though that may change over time as the modernization drive to shift from traditional passenger jeepneys to electric ones takes hold.

The transition will take quite a bit of time though. Those electric jeepneys aren't cheap.
