Somali pirates hijack ship
Scores of attacks this year have brought the pirates millions of dollars in ransoms, hiked up shipping insurance costs, sent foreign navies rushing to the area, and left about a dozen boats with more than 200 hostages still in pirate hands.
Yemen’s official SABA news agency said the MV Adina was travelling from Mukalla port to the southern island of Socotra and had been due to dock on November 20 with 507 metric tonnes of steel.
