Chemical tanker seized in the Gulf of Aden en route to Somali coasts
Security sources reported that armed men believed to be Somali pirates took control of a chemical cargo ship called Asana in the Gulf of Aden near the southern coast of Yemen. The vessel headed towards the port of Bosaso in Somalia. The ship sent out a distress call, and there was no armed security team aboard at the time of the incident. European and South Korean efforts are ongoing to assist and to clarify the circumstances surrounding the event. This incident occurs against a backdrop of increasing piracy threats and security tensions in the region, especially with Iran's movements, which have reportedly asked the Houthis to close the Bab el-Mandeb Strait if the United States threatened Iranian infrastructure in the area.
