Egypt’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation is closely monitoring the hijacking of the oil tanker M/T Eureka, which was seized from Yemeni territorial waters and taken to Somali waters near Puntland.
Foreign Minister Dr. Badr Abdelatty instructed the Egyptian Embassy in Mogadishu to follow up on the situation of the eight Egyptian sailors aboard the vessel. The embassy has been directed to provide full support and assistance, work toward their swift release, and maintain high-level communication with Somali authorities to ensure the safety and security of the crew.
