]]> Pirates have hijacked an Indian commercial ship off the coast of Somalia.

It’s  the second attack in weeks after five years of inactivity in this seaway patrolled by a European Union naval force.

ends intro

United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations which coordinates the management of merchant ships and yachts in the Gulf of Aden area says a dhow en route to Bosasso from Dubai has been hijacked in the vicinity of Socotra Island.

The  coordinating body cannot confirm the location of the vessel, which identified as Al Kausar.

An investigation into exactly what happened is underway.

The vessel attacked by Somali pirates is understood to be heading towards the Somali coast.

Somali pirates seized an oil tanker last  month but released it after a clash with a marine force from neighboring Puntland.
