Attack of a pirate commando in the Gulf of Mexico against an Italian ship. According to what he learnsAdnkronos, two Italian seafarers were injured in the assault, one struck by a blunt instrument to the head and one injured by a shot in the knee: neither of them in danger of death. The commando was composed of 7-8 pirates. The commando composed of 7/8 pirates who attacked an Italian ship in the Gulf of Mexico last night reached Remas aboard two fast boats and, after getting on board, opened fire on the crew, robbing him of as much as possible. So the pirates left the ship and left. At the time of the assault, 35 people were on the ship, including an officer from the Mexican Merchant Navy, who then coordinated contacts with local authorities. The two wounded were disembarked in the port of Ciudad del Carmen, where the Remas arrived escorted by a Mexican military unit and where the alerted medical staff was located to rescue the two seafarers. Already on 4 November, other pirates had attacked an oil rig in the same area.
