SEOUL, South Korea — Twenty-one North Koreans, including women and children, were found adrift in a boat off the west coast of South Korea last Sunday and asked for asylum, the South Korean military said Saturday.

The 5-ton boat was spotted by a South Korean navy patrol 23 miles south of the maritime border disputed by North Korea. The people on board were transferred to a police boat and taken to Incheon, a major port outside Seoul.
