Merchant Vessel Approached By Small Boats In Southern Waters
A cargo vessel has been hijacked off the coast of Somalia, according to maritime security reports. This incident marks the second hijacking of a commercial vessel by Somali actors in recent days. The specific identity of the vessel and the status of the crew were not immediately disclosed. Pirates hijacked an oil tanker carrying 17 crew members off the coast of Somalia on Friday. The hijacking occurs amid a resurgence of piracy in the area over the last three years. It is reportedly being steered towards Somalia. Information regarding the incident is currently limited. The UK Maritime and Coastguard Agency recorded an incident involving an unknown vessel approaching a merchant ship earlier that day. The report noted a small boat and a fishing vessel approached the merchant ship, though specific details on the hijacking remain unavailable.
