Oil tanker hijacked off coast of Yemen and taken towards Somalia

An oil tanker, MT Eureka, has been hijacked off the coast of Yemen and is being taken towards Somalia. The tanker was sailing under the flag of Togo and was overrun by pirates in the Gulf of Aden near the port of Qana. It is now sailing in the Gulf of Aden between Yemen and Somalia, expected to anchor in Somali waters in the coming hours. This incident marks the second hijacking of an oil tanker in the area in a 10-day period, indicating piracy is expanding across Somalia's coastline.
