Somali pirates hijacked an Emirati dhow in April, attempted to use it as a mothership for attacking other ships, then abandoned it after supply shortages and increased maritime security prevented successful attacks.

Suspected Somali pirates attacked and boarded Malta-flagged tanker en route from India to South Africa, firing machineguns and RPGs while crew sheltered in citadel.
