There was no sign of military of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) in the area where a South Korean naval ship sank, Yonhap quoted a presidential official as saying on Saturday.
There had been earlier suggestions that the vessel may have been attacked on Friday night by DPRK near the disputed sea border.
But the government later played down the reports and the Yonhap report quoted the official as saying that satellite pictures and other information showed no sign of any North Korean activity in the area.
