VLADIVOSTOK, Russia, May 17 -- A Russian yacht previously detained by the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) due to misunderstanding arrived here Tuesday, with five members on board safe and sound, Russian media reported.
The sports yacht, "Elfin," was detained by a DPRK coast guard ship in international waters last Friday. It was en route from the South Korean port of Pusan to Russia's Vladivostok after an international yachts race.
The DPRK side said Sunday the detention was due to misunderstanding and the vessel was allowed to leave the DPRK port the day after.
"The yacht is already in our waters, it arrived in Vladivostok," said Yana Konoplitskaya, spokesperson of the "Seven Feet" yacht club that "Elfin" belongs to.
