MANAMA // An Asian sailor died when a dhow was targeted in a piracy attack off Bahraini regional waters, according to the coast guard.
Bahraini public prosecution was notified of the incident when the dhow returned to a maritime checkpoint near the Sheikh Khalifa bin Salman bridge in the Hidd area on Saturday morning, the Bahrain News Agency quoted a coast guard commander as saying.
He said that GCC authorities were notified for necessary and precautionary measures.
The commander urged all mariners to stick to the proper fishing areas in Bahrain’s territories and avoid crossing maritime borders.
They should follow any instructions from the coast guards in this respect for their safety and to also avoid legal measures being taken against them.
