HELSINKI — Authorities impounded 160 tons of explosives and 69 surface-to-air missiles Wednesday after they were found on a British- flagged cargo ship destined for Shanghai, officials said.

The M/S Thor Liberty sailed from Emden, Germany, on Dec. 13, and two days later, it docked in Kotka, southern Finland, to pick up a cargo of anchor chains, Finnish Customs spokesman Petri Lounatmaa said.

Investigating officers didn’t know the origin of the Patriot missiles or who was supposed to receive them, he said.
