An Iranian naval escort group opened fire on suspicious boats. The pirates were forced to flee.
The Iranian Navy prevented a pirate attack on an Iranian oil tanker bound for the Gulf of Aden. The escort team opened warning fire on the pirates. Reported by the agency Anatolia.
“An Iranian naval escort group stationed on an oil tanker encountered pirates on the ship’s route to the Gulf of Aden, before entering the Bab al-Mandeb strait,” Iranian media quoted the agency as saying.
Four to six armed pirates on “suspicious” boats “intended to attack and approach the tanker, but the escort team on board took timely action and opened warning fire, forcing the pirates to flee the scene.”
Prior to this, it was reported that on October 16 in the Gulf of Aden, pirates in five speedboats also tried to attack an Iranian oil tanker. They fled after an Iranian tanker opened fire.
Recall, the marines of the Russian Federation freed a container ship with Ukrainians from pirates.
It also became known that for the first time in Ukraine there will be try a man for piracy… In July 2020, a man hijacked a ship in the neutral waters of the western Indian Ocean in order to receive $ 500,000.
