On the morning of 18 November, a boarding team belonging to the Greek warship HS Adrias sighted two attack skiffs and one “motherskiff” approximately 300 nautical miles north of the Seychelles. They intercepted and boarded and all pirate-related paraphernalia, including excess skiffs, were seized.

Following this event, Adrias continued to the East and intercepted two more skiffs and a mother ship with a total of five suspected pirates. This group was also neutralized; this action is part of the continued efforts towards disrupting piracy in this vast sea area where pirates had been known to operate and hijack ships previously.
