Maritime security sources: The attackers are believed to have seized control of the tanker.

LONDON, July 17 (Reuters) - Armed men believed to have boarded the chemical tanker Asana off the southern coast of Yemen in the Gulf of Aden on Friday were in control, maritime security sources said.

Ship tracking data showed that the small tanker, whose flag was not confirmed, had identified the Somali port of Bosaso as its next destination.

The UK Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO) reported that unauthorized individuals boarded a vessel while it was transiting eastward in the Gulf of Aden, 65 nautical miles south of the Yemeni port of Mukalla.
