Ship damaged in pirate attack off Shabwa
A commercial ship was attacked by pirates off the coast of Shabwah in Yemen, when armed men operating from an armored boat fired at it with RPGs, damaging the bridge. The suspicious vessel, believed to be operated by Somali pirates, has departed the area heading south and still poses a threat to passing ships, while the crew continues their journey. Recent times have seen repeated piracy attempts in the region, including a kidnapping attempt targeting the oil tanker "Eureka" and another attack aimed at commercial vessels.
