The Russian Pacific Fleet has sent more ships to the Indian Ocean to protect civilian vessels from pirate attacks in the Gulf of Aden.
The large anti-submarine ship the Marshal Shaposhnikov, a tugboat and
the Pechenga tanker have set out for Somali coasts, carrying marines and
deck helicopters, the Pacific Fleet informed Interfax.
The current mission will be the fourth to have been sent to the
pirate-stricken Gulf of Aden.
