| The MSICO have received reports from local forces that an Iranian-flagged vessel was attacked by two small craft approximately 19nm East of Kabal, Somalia. The reports state that a group of suspected pirates, departed from the Garmaal coastal area on the small craft and attempted to attack and board the vessel with the likely intention of using it as a mothership. Defensive actions taken by the target vessel prevented the boarding and the small craft retreated towards the coast.
