TUNISIA SEIZES SHIPLOAD OF WEAPONS

On 19th February, Defence Web reported that Tunisian officials have seized a vessel loaded with undeclared weapons, including armoured vehicles. The vessel, called the Ural and registered under the Panamanian flag, was intercepted on 16th February off the port of Sfax and found to be carrying trucks, armoured personnel carriers and equipment for military camps. According to ship tracking websites, the vessel was on its way from Novorossiysk in Russia to Douala, Cameroon, when it was forced to call on Sfax due to mechanical failure.
