Seoul, July 28 (TIWN) North Korea has released a Russian fishing vessel it had seized 10 days earlier for allegedly entering North Korean waters without permission, EFE news agency reported on Sunday.
North Korea detained the 15 Russian and two South Korean crew members of the fishing boat on July 17 for violating entry rules, according to the embassy. Russia said the boat did not breach any law.
The two South Korean men were also freed, the embassy said in a Facebook post. Russia’s RIA news agency had earlier cited Russia’s fisheries agency Rosrybolovstvo as saying shipping data showed North Korea’s action had been illegal and the fishing boat had not entered its waters.
