We are working to find out if this is based on North Korea's request," Yonhap news agency quoted an unnamed South Korean army source as saying. The NLL marks the maritime border between the two Koreas and has been the scene of naval clashes in the past. (Reporting by Rhee So-eui, Writing by Jonathan Thatcher; Editing by Sugita Katyal)
