The Iranian Navy’s 28th fleet on Thursday thwarted an attempt by pirates to hijack a foreign ship in the North Indian Ocean, according to commander of the Navy Rear Admiral Habibollah Sayyari as saying on Friday.
Pirates operating off the coast of Somalia have expanded the reach of their hijacking attacks on merchant vessels and oil tankers in the Indian Ocean and the Gulf of Aden in recent years, making tens of millions of dollars in ransom, despite the fact that dozens of foreign naval vessels are patrolling the area.
