"A small, fast-moving boat and a helicopter were dispatched by the South Korean destroyer to rescue the Mongolian ship, sparking a brief gun battle with the pirates aboard the vessel. The battle left three South Korean soldiers injured and an unspecified number of pirates were missing and presumed dead after that exchange, said Col. Lee, the military spokesman."

Duh.

Anyone who ever worked with the ROKs can tell you how they handled that little problem of a few thugs with AK-47s.

What are the chances they'll pick another Korean ship to hijack real soon?
