Somali pirates who hijacked the tanker Eureka are demanding $10 million for its release.
According to sea-news.az citing the Shabelle Media Network, the Togo-flagged vessel was captured on May 2 in the Gulf of Aden while transporting diesel fuel from the UAE.
It was previously reported that the pirates threatened to kill the crew members—who are citizens of Egypt and India—after negotiations for their release failed.
According to the British maritime security company Ambrey, the pirates are currently holding at least two tankers and one cargo ship under their control.
