More than 15,000 vessels sail through the Panama Canal each year
Panama’s president says his country has seized a North Korean-flagged ship carrying “undeclared military cargo”.
President Ricardo Martinelli told local media that the ship, which was sailing from Cuba, contained suspected “sophisticated missile equipment”.
He posted a photo of what looked like a large green object inside a cargo container on his Twitter account.
He said the ship, which was searched as it passed through the Panama Canal, was being held for further investigation.
