U.S. Navy captures more suspected pirates off Somalia
The U.S. Navy arrested nine more suspected pirates off the coast of Somalia Thursday — the second capture in two days — after receiving a distress call from an Indian-flagged commercial ship.

According to the Navy announcement, at 4 a.m. local time the Indian-flagged Premdivya sent a distress call to all ships in the area reporting that she had been fired upon by a small skiff, and suspected pirates were attempting to board it.
A U.S. Navy helicopter crew was launched from the USS Vella Gulf and fired two warning shots at the small boat to get them to stop. A Navy boarding team was then launched to investigate the skiff’s crew and found rocket-propelled grenades and other weapons on board the small craft, according to Navy officials.
