Imagine being on a ship in the middle of the ocean, with no control over your fate. This is what happened to the crew of the oil tanker EUREKA, which was hijacked off the coast of Yemen. The hijackers took control of the ship and are now steering it towards Somalia. The Yemeni coast guard is trying to track the tanker's location and ensure the safety of its crew.

The EUREKA is a Togolese-flagged oil products tanker that was last seen in the UAE port of Fujairah in late March. Piracy was a major problem off the coast of Somalia in the 2000s, but it had decreased significantly over the years. However, in recent weeks, there have been an increase in attacks.

The European Union's naval mission, Operation Atalanta, has been monitoring the situation and has reported three attacks in late April. The disruption of shipping in the region has also been caused by the US-Israeli war against Iran.

This hijacking is a concerning trend, and it's not the first time a tanker has been captured in the Gulf of Aden. Last month, a tanker was captured by a new group of pirates operating from the port town of Garacad in the Puntland state of northeastern Somalia.

The coast guard is working to recover the tanker and ensure the safety of its crew. The situation is being closely monitored by international authorities, and it's hoped that the tanker will be recovered safely.
