Bukang-i the shark, which authorities guided out of a Busan canal on a third attempt on Oct. 21 after 33 days trapped there, has returned to the waterway, seen swimming Thursday morning (Oct. 22). Yonhap and KBS World report the shark defied rescue efforts and came back to the canal. Separately, South Korea and the U.S. concluded a multinational maritime mine warfare exercise off Busan with 15 partner nations, according to the U.S. Navy, as Yonhap and Korea Times report. Korean outlets frame the shark's return as a surprising twist after the successful rescue, while the exercise is reported as a routine military cooperation event.
