Pirates attacked two fishing vessels off Libreville on Sunday, abducting six crew members, a source close to Gabon’s government told AFP.
“The pirates abducted three Indonesians, two Senegalese and one South Korean,” the source said, without giving further details.
Contacted by AFP on Monday, Gabon’s defence ministry had not yet responded by early evening. This is the second pirate attack recorded since the beginning of the year off the coast of Gabon.
