Oil Tanker Hijacked Off Yemen, Now Heading Toward Somali Coast

Yemeni authorities have reported that a hijacked oil tanker is now heading toward Somalia, marking at least the fourth vessel seizure in the region in recent weeks. The incident underscores growing maritime security threats off the Horn of Africa, where piracy and armed robbery remain concerns. The tanker was seized near Yemeni waters, and its current course suggests the hijackers intend to bring it to Somali shores. No further details on the crew or cargo have been released.
