In Simferopol, the regional capital, U.N. special envoy Robert H. Serry was accosted by unidentified armed men after he visited a naval headquarters in the city, U.N. Deputy Secretary General Jan Eliasson told reporters by phone from Kiev, Ukraine’s capital.

Eliasson said the group of 10 to 15 men blocked the Dutch diplomat’s car and ordered him to go to the airport and leave Crimea immediately.
