“We know about the fact of the pirate attack on the ship, the embassy is now checking information about the seizure of the Russians,” RIA Novosti quotes the message from the embassy.
According to local media reports, pirates attacked the ship and kidnapped two Russians - a captain and a crew member.
It is noted that in total there were 18 people on board - seven Russians and 11 Filipinos.
In August, the release of seven Russian sailors abducted from the Curacao Trader on 17 July during a robbery in the Gulf of Guinea was reported.
