Pirates off the coast of Nigeria have attacked a Turkish cargo ship, kidnapping six crew members in a region which has seen increasing piracy in recent years. Nigerian and Turkish media reports said Monday.

They added the pirates abducted the ship’s mechanical engineer, electrician, navigator and three captains. 

The ship is owned by Kaptanogul Shipping, which told the news agency that both the kidnapped crew, and those who remained on the ship, were “in good health”. It was unclear how many crew members were aboard the M/T Puli, which was carrying chemicals, when it was attacked.
