TEHRAN, Jan. 13 (UPI) -- Ten U.S. Navy sailors and two patrol boats were released Wednesday after Iranian military found they entered territorial waters as the "result of an unpurposeful action and a mistake," a state-run news agency in Iran reported.
It is unclear exactly when sailors, who were aboard two patrol boats in the Persian Gulf, will be released. The Pentagon said one of the boats had experienced mechanical problems while en route from Kuwait to Bahrain and strayed into Iranian territorial waters. U.S. officials have not commented on the release.
