Attack Repelled
A South Korean antipiracy unit operating off the coast of Somalia on Sunday morning repelled three ships suspected of trying to seize a Panamanian-registered chemical freight vessel, the Joint Chiefs of Staff said Monday.
The naval Unit received an emergency satellite call from the 17,000-ton “Azalea” loaded with 28,200 tons of sulfur and carrying four South Koreans, 18 Filipinos and two Brits.
