The Danish command and support warship Esbern Snare was involved in an exchange of fire with a pirate mother ship last week which ended in the liberation of 16 Iranian hostages, the deaths of four pirates and the arrest of 24 others, according to Admiral Fleet Denmark (SOK) in a statement over the weekend.
“During a patrol along Somalia’s coast on the morning of Thursday May 12, Esbern Snare approached a pirate mother ship. When Esbern Snare attempted to stop the mother ship it was fired on. Esbern Snare returned fire,” Admiral Fleet Denmark (SOK) said in its release.
