Somali pirates abandon hijacked UAE vessel after running out of food
Somali pirates have abandoned a UAE-flagged dhow they seized in late April after being unable to use it as a mother ship to attack other vessels, security officials in Puntland said. The 11-member crew abandoned the ship on May 4 due to depleted supplies and heightened vigilance on passing vessels. The incident raises renewed concerns about Somali piracy after years of relative calm.
