India on Sunday put on hold its search for missing Malaysia Airlines flight MH370, at the request of the government in Kuala Lumpur, which wants to reassess the week-old hunt for the Boeing 777 that is suspected of being deliberately flown off course.

A Russian navy ship, the Vice-Admiral Zakharin minesweeper, was moving towards the Sea of Azov from the Black Sea on Wednesday, a Reuters reporter said.

The Sea of Azov, which is used by both Russia and Ukraine, is an area of heightened tensions after Moscow seized three Ukrainian naval vessels and their crews on Sunday as they tried to make their way there.
