SEOUL/SINGAPORE (Reuters) - Pirates attacked a South Korean-flagged cargo ship in the South
China Sea early on Monday, stealing thousands of dollars in cash and even the sailors' shoes, South Korean authorities said.
Two people sustained minor injuries when seven pirates boarded the CK Bluebell and made off with $13,000 and belongings including mobile phones, clothes and shoes from the 22-strong crew, officials from the oceans and fisheries ministry said.
The dry bulk vessel CK Bluebell had set sail from its anchorage off
Singapore on Saturday afternoon, heading northeast for South Korea's port of Incheon, Refinitiv Eikon ship tracking data showed.
