Yemen’s Coast Guard said on Saturday it is tracking the hijacking of the oil tanker M/T EUREKA off the coast of Shabwa province, after it was seized in an armed attack by unidentified assailants. In a preliminary statement, the Coast Guard said the attackers boarded the vessel and took control of it before steering it toward the Gulf of Aden in the direction of the Somali coast, according to initial information. It added that, upon receiving the report, its forces launched field operations, dispatching two patrol boats from Aden along with additional vessels from Shabwa as part of search and tracking efforts, despite what it described as limited capabilities and the country’s exceptional circumstances. ..
