欧盟说，一艘中国货船在印度洋西部被劫持。
欧盟执行打击海盗任务的部队说，这艘散装货船星期一在塞舌尔群岛东北1000公里、索马里以东1300公里处被劫持。
该部队已从塞舌尔派飞机展开调查。
这很可能是本月索马里海盗劫持的第三艘船只，之前海盗有一段时间企图袭击但没有成功。
海盗在10月2日劫持了一艘载有36名船员的西班牙渔船，要求400万美元的赎金。
The European Union says a Chinese cargo ship has been hijacked in the western Indian Ocean.
The EU’s anti-piracy mission says the bulk carrier was seized Monday about 1,000 kilometers northeast of the Seychelles islands, and 1,300 kilometers east of Somalia.
The mission has sent an aircraft from Seychelles to investigate the situation.
This is potentially the third ship hijacked by Somali pirates this month, after a period of unsuccessful attacks.
Pirates have demanded a $4 million ransom for a Spanish fishing boat with 36 crew members they seized October 2.
