South Korean commandos have stormed a ship hijacked by Somali pirates, rescuing all the crew and killing eight pirates.
The South Korean military says its special forces stormed the chemical freighter about 1,300 kilometres north-east of Somalia.
The South Korean skipper of the freighter suffered a gunshot wound to the stomach during the raid, but his condition is not believed to be life-threatening.
The South Korean navy had been ordered to chase the hijackers across the Indian Ocean in a bid to free the crew and regain control of the freighter.
The ship was hijacked after leaving the United Arab Emirates.
