Seoul says it will use the recovered fragments to identify both the weapon system and the actor responsible for the attack. <\/p>\n<p> On May 15, the Foreign Ministry said that after consultations with the United Arab Emirates government, the debris arrived by air and will undergo detailed analysis by specialized agencies. <\/p>\n<p> Officials said the remains were transported in a diplomatic pouch and flown from Abu Dhabi to Incheon on a civilian aircraft. The material was then moved to the Agency for Defense Development (ADD) for in-depth forensic work. <\/p>\n<p> The government intends to determine whether the object was a drone or a missile and to investigate any links to Iran. The fragments recovered so far appear to include parts of an engine. <\/p>\n<p> A senior government official told reporters that investigators will disassemble the wreckage and run both physical and chemical tests to ensure a thorough analysis. Another senior official said at a press briefing that Defense Ministry investigative units will carry out meticulous examinations to establish the facts. <\/p>\n<p> On May 4, an explosion and fire erupted aboard the HMM Namu while it was transiting the Strait of Hormuz. On-site investigators concluded that two unidentified aerial objects struck the ship. <\/p>\n<p> Separate from the debris analysis, authorities are conducting a detailed inspection of the ship\u2019s hull. The Defense Ministry dispatched a technical analysis team, including ADD experts, to Dubai to examine the towed Namu\u2019s damaged sections and signs of a blast. <\/p>\n<p> Seoul currently assesses it is unlikely that an actor other than Iran carried out the attack. One senior official said, \u201cWe cannot completely rule out other actors, but it is not likely.\u201d He added, \u201cIf the attacker is clearly identified, we will pursue appropriate diplomatic responses.\u201d <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The government begins detailed analysis of debris from an attack on a Korean vessel in the Hormuz Strait to identify the attacker and aircraft type.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_thumbnail_url":"https:\/\/cdn-union.tenbizt.com\/contents\/crawler-dev\/thumbnail\/2026\/05\/CP-2023-0299\/thumb-694cc7e0-3998-4c11-a998-5eadd24d66c9.jpg","footnotes":""},"categories":[278104],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-260520","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-military"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.5 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>What Really Happened?
