A Russian ship suspected of delivering munitions to Syria in violation of an EU arms embargo after an unscheduled stop in Cyprus has anchored off Turkey's coast, officials said.



Foreign Ministry official Selcuk Unal said Turkish officials would board the vessel before allowing it to dock at the port of Iskenderun. Unal said the ship left the Syrian port of Tartus early Saturday and reached Iskenderun later the same day. It's unclear what type of cargo the St. Vincent and Grenadines-flagged ship may have offloaded at Tartus. (AP)
