North Korea’s Mangyongbong ship barred from entering Vladivostok port

Vessel stuck outside Russian port since last Wednesday on suspicion of carrying sanctioned goods

The vessel arrived in the vicinity of Vladivostok on January 31, the NK Pro Ship Tracker showed, but was reportedly denied entry by customs officials on suspicion of carrying goods prohibited for import into Russia by the United Nations Security Council (UNSC).
