Andrew Mwangura of the East Africa Seafarers Assistance Programme told Xinhua late Thursday that the ships were hijacked Wednesday from the same area where a Dutch-owned vessel was taken over by pirates Monday.

“The vessels were hijacked Wednesday from the same area where the Dutch-owned vessel was taken over Monday. We have not received any information about the crewmembers and their nationalities,” Mwangura said by telephone.
