Russian frigate defends foreign vessel · 2008-11-17 17:40
The Russian Neustrashimy (Fearless) frigate prevented the seizure of a foreign vessel flying the Saudi flag by pirates off Somalia’s coast on Sunday, Russian Navy spokesman Igor Dygalo said.
“The Rabikh vessel, sailing some 30 miles from the Neustrashimy, was attacked by several high-speed pirate boats,” Dygalo said.
The Neustrashimy entered waters off the Somali coast in late October. Somali pirates have attacked around 60 ships so far this year, resulting in the seizure of around 30 vessels. The East African nation has been without a functioning government since 1991 and has no navy to police its coastline, RIA Novosti reports.
