Debris from the drone that struck the South Korean vessel Namooho in the Hormuz Strait has arrived in South Korea.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced on May 15 that the debris was transported via air after consultations with the United Arab Emirates (UAE) government and that a detailed analysis will be conducted by specialized institutions.
The debris was reportedly transported in a diplomatic pouch on a commercial flight from Abu Dhabi to Incheon. A senior official from the Foreign Ministry stated the day before, "Once we have the debris, I believe our defense ministry's investigative agency will thoroughly examine it and uncover all necessary details."
The debris consists of the engine section of the drone. The government plans to conduct a thorough investigation to determine whether the object is a drone or a missile and to confirm if Iran was indeed the attacking party.
Meanwhile, an explosion and fire occurred on the South Korean ship HMM Namooho on May 4 while it was in the Hormuz Strait. The vessel had a total of 24 crew members on board, including six South Koreans.
