The Singapore government has warned North Korea that it will take action if one of their ships, supposedly being chased by the US Navy, is carrying nuclear weapons.
The ship had supposedly been in international waters, where it encountered the US ships.
It started to head for Singapore while trying to shake of its pursuers.
The North Korean flagged ship is called Kang Nam 1.
News reports have said the US Navy will continue to monitor the ship under new UN sanctions that seek to prevent Pyongyang from exporting weapons.
