This time; the pirates hijacked an Indian cargo ship off the coast of the semi-autonomous region of Puntland.
Officials said the vessel was heading towards Somali shores when the pirates struck, but there are no details of the crew or destination.
You will recall those two weeks earlier, a United Arab Emirates’ oil tanker en route to Mogadishu was seized by pirates who then released the boat apparently without conditions.
That incident was the first hijack off the Somali coast since 2012.
