COPENHAGEN — The Danish news agency Ritzau says pirates have hijacked a sailboat with four adults and three children on board in the Indian Ocean.
Citing Denmark's Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Charlotte Slente, Ritzau says the hijacking happened on Thursday and that the boat is now heading toward Somalia.
Ritzau says those on board are a Danish couple and their three children and two crew members, also Danes.
Danish Foreign Ministry officials didn't immediately return calls seeking confirmation.
