Sana'a: A Yemeni criminal court has sentenced 10 Somalis to 10 years in prison after convicting them of piracy in Yemen's territorial waters, the state-run Saba news agency reported.
The court based in Mukalla, the provincial capital city in Yemen's southeast province of Hadramout, said that the convicts were arrested while they were targeting Yemeni and foreign ships in the Yemeni territorial waters in the Gulf of Aden as their boat was equipped with rifles, Xinhua reported.
Saba did not provide details on the date of their arrest.
About 25,000 ships pass through the Gulf of Aden every year.
