erice 732 Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 The Papua Defence Force’s Navy has intercepted what news media have described as a suspected Chinese pirate vessel and have detained eight crew members, one with gunshot wounds. At present, all crew members are being interrogated by PNG Customs officials with assistance from the Australian Federal Police. In 2017, the same vessel was intercepted in the Milne Bay waters, with cocaine also being seized from the vessel. https://eveningreport.nz/2020/08/26/drama-at-sea-png-navy-detains-8-alleged-pirates-1-wounded/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
