Around the same time, pirates, disembarking from a motor boat, kidnapped two crew members from the Rio Mitong cargo ship, sailing a few kilometers from the capital Malabo - one of the abducted was Russian, one was Ukrainian.
The circumstances of the attack on the scientific vessel are being studied by local police, a representative of the Russian embassy in Cameroon, neighboring Equatorial Guinea, told RIA Novosti. The abduction of a Russian from a cargo ship was confirmed at the embassy to the TASS agency, and the Ukrainian was preliminarily confirmed by representatives of the country's Foreign Ministry to the Ukrinform agency.
The Gulf of Guinea is one of the areas where in recent years there has been the largest number of pirate attacks on cargo ships.
The geological exploration vessel “Dzhiblokho” that was attacked in the roadstead was built at a shipyard in Nikolaev in 1989 under the name “Sevmorgeologiya”.
"Rio Motong" was flying the flag of the Comoros Islands, the ship is owned by a Belgian company.
