Spanish military ship set free on Thursday nine Yemeni fishermen along with their fishing vessel from Somali pirates off the International territorial water in the Arab Sea.
Yemen Coastal Guards (YCG) department in Aden confirmed that a Spanish maritime military ship freed the nine Yemeni hostages and their fishing vessel and noted that communications with the Spanish ship are underway in order to hand over the fishermen to Yemen.
Somali pirates took prisoners the fishermen on April 15 whilst they were fishing in the territorial water off the Gulf of Aden.
Piracy has thrived in Somali in the past few years, dealing a blow to Yemen and many other neighboring countries like Nigeria. Many Somalis have escaped the impoverished conditions of their country by working as pirates.
Hundreds of millions of dollars were paid as ransoms to the pirates by the international community to free their boats and oil tankers.
Many ships have diverted their transit destinations due to the Somali piracy, causing many losses to Yemen.
