Cargo ship said to have been hijacked near Somalia

 The United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO) said on Sunday that it had received a report of "unauthorized persons" taking control of a cargo vessel near Somalia.

The ship has been "re-directed to within territorial waters," the UKMTO said, noting that the incident took place six nautical miles northeast of Garacad, a coastal town in Puntland, northeastern Somalia.

The notice, which didn't name the ship, also urged vessels to transit with caution due to the "increased threat" of Pirate Action Group (PAG) activity.
