North Korea has freed a Russian yacht and its five crewmembers after North Korean fishermen mistakenly detained the vessel, a news report said Sunday.
The Elfin yacht with five crewmembers onboard was detained in waters some 130 kilometers away from the North Korean port of Kosong on Friday, Russia's Tass news agency said.
The yacht, belonging to the Primorye Sailing Association, was on the way from the South Korean port of Busan to Vladivostok after an international regatta, according to the news agency.
Russia's Ambassador to North Korea Alexander Matsegora said that the yacht had left the North Korean port of Kimchaek and set a course for Vladivostok early on Sunday, according to Tass.
Russia's diplomats requested North Korea to explain the reasons for detaining the yacht.
Russia's Consul General in Chongjin Yuri Bochkarev said he was told "the yacht was detained by mistake," Tass said. (Yonhap)
