Attacks On Somalia Pirates

Pirates have hijacked an Indian commercial ship off the coast of Somalia, the second attack in weeks after years of inactivity by pirates, industry and security sources said on Monday to news agency Reuters.

European naval aircraft fired at pirate-owned supplies on the Somali coastline on Tuesday for the first time since the European Union authorised such strikes. The operation targeted pirate equipment but the statement did not specify the nature of the target or the exact location of the strike.
