Washington, Aug 11 (PTI) The United States Tuesday said
it was aware of the steps taken by India with regard to the
North Korean ship, which has been detained by Indian
authorities.

"We are indeed aware of the steps that India took," State
Department Deputy spokesman Robert Wood told reporters here.

However, he refrained from going into details.

"We are certainly aware of it, but I would refer you to
the Indian Government with regards to the particulars on it,"
Wood said.

Indian authorities on Friday when it illegally entered its
territorial waters near Port Blair. PTI
