Somali pirates capture oil tanker
The oil tanker "MT Glamour," sailing off the coast of Yemen in the Gulf of Aden, was hijacked by armed Somali pirates early Sunday morning. The pirates launched their attack after setting out from a small village 70 kilometers from the coast. The crew, flying the flag of Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, took shelter in the secure room. A Japanese warship, which had helicopters circling above, intervened, forcing the pirates to retreat. No direct casualties or material damages were reported. This incident occurs amidst a rise in piracy attempts in the region.
