On the high seas:
A handout photo provided by the US Navy shows Somali pirates in small boats on Sept 25 hijacking the MV Faina, a Belize-flagged cargo ship owned and operated by "Kaalbye Shipping Ukraine". Ukraine again insisted on Sept 30 that a cargo of 33 tanks on a freight ship hijacked last week was destined for Kenya, and not Sudan as the pirates holding the ship and the US navy have said. "The client for the military material is the Ministry of Defense of the Republic of Kenya," said a statement from the Ukrspetsexport, the state company that handles the country's arms sales.
