Somali pirates release S. Korea ship
Seoul: Somali pirates have released a South Korean fishing vessel that was hijacked four months ago with 43 sailors aboard, the South's foreign ministry said on Wednesday.
The 241-tonne trawler Keummi 305 is sailing to international waters after being freed, the ministry said in a statement.
The crab fishing vessel carrying two South Koreans, two Chinese and 39 Kenyans was hijacked on October 9 in the Indian Ocean off the Kenyan island of Lamu.
The vessel and its crew had been taken to a pirate stronghold in northern Somalia.
