A Russian cargo ship was set free by the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) Tuesday night after several days in the DPRK's territorial waters, Russian news agencies reported on Wednesday.
"The ship called out of the port of Kimchaek at 09:40 local time Wednesday (2340 GMT Tuesday)," Vladimir Yeroshkin, a duty captain at the Maritime Salvage and Coordination Center, was quoted by the Itar-Tass news agency as saying. "All the 25 crew members are safe and sound," he said.
The ship Lydia Demesh, carrying a consignment of second-hand cars from the Japanese port of Hamata to Vladivostok, was reported to enter DPRK's territorial waters on Feb. 23 accidentally in search of shelter from a severe storm.
