One sailor was killed in the raid, an Azerbaijani citizen, while those kidnapped are from Turkey, according to the respective governments and a crew list seen by Reuters.
Accounts from crew, family members and security sources described a sophisticated and well-orchestrated attack on Saturday in which armed pirates boarded the ship and breached its protective citadel, possibly with explosives.

Three local counties boost rating to orange
INDIANAPOLIS â A week after seeing COVID-19 ratings worsen to their worst point ever, Indiana showed marked improvement last week, with many counties getting better ratings than the week before.
That included northeast Indiana, where Noble, DeKalb and LaGrange counties all improved from red to orange. Steuben County stayed in red, but just barely, as it showed improvement from a week ago, too, just not enough to change colors.
Overall, Indiana saw a widespread and rapid improvement from where it was a week earlier, although all but one county remained in orange and red, the two color codes representing the highest spread of COVID-19.
