Somali pirates hijack oil tanker off Yemen in latest attack

Somali pirates hijacked the Eritrean-flagged M.T. Sibu 1 off Yemen and took it toward Somalia’s Puntland coast, making it the sixth commercial vessel seized since April. The tanker was sanctioned by the U.S. Treasury Department for allegedly belonging to an Iranian "shadow fleet." This resurgence of piracy has seen attacks occurring increasingly far from Somalia's coastline.
