There are unconfirmed reports that up to nine crew have been kidnapped in a pirate attack on a container ship in the Gulf of Guinea, some 48nm southwest of Equatorial Guinea.
Security consultancy Dryad Global initially reported six crew missing but later amended that to up to nine crew. Few details are available at this time ? there are reports that the attack is still underway ? however, a Danish Navy vessel is en route to the scene of the attack.
