Yemen Coastguard has rescued a Korean ship in the international waters near the Gulf of Aden when Somali pirates tried to take over it. Receiving a distress call form the ship, sailing 47 miles south the Aden Gulf, Yemeni forces quickly moved to the scene and rescued the ship, a source at the Aden-based coastguard said.

As the Yemeni forces arrived, Somali pirates were threatening to hit the ship with RPG missiles if it would not surrender, the source said.
Coastguards started to clash with the pirates killing a pirate who was about to launch an RPG missile at the ship while the rest pirates could escape.
Noteworthy, pirates off the coast of Somali use speedy boats to carry out pirate acts and they have machine guns, missile launchers and hand grenades. They also have satellite phones that work with the DBS system.

Piracy off Somalia has been a growing concern for many world countries which have recently sent warships to conduct anti-pirate patrols in the Indian Ocean.Almost a week ago, Russian navy handed Yemen ten Somali pirates who were arrested while they carrying out pirate acts in the ocean.
