Russian special forces from the anti-submarine destroyer Marshal Shaposhnikov stormed the disabled oil tanker Moscow University, which was hijacked by Somali pirates 350 miles off of Africa’s coast, freeing 23 Russian sailors and detaining 10 pirates. One pirate was killed during the raid. The crew members, who had locked themselves in a secure room for 20 hours, remained safe. Russia’s General Prosecutor’s Office instituted criminal proceedings on piracy charges. The maximum penalty for piracy is 15 years of imprisonment.
