Two Russian nationals have been detained by US officials after arriving in a small boat on St Lawrence Island in Alaska.

According to the two US senators who represent the state, the men landed at a beach in the village of Gambell and requested asylum in the country.

A Department of Homeland Security (DHS) spokesperson said the duo's asylum claim was currently being processed.
