Pirates hijack 2 ships off Somalia

(CNN) -- Pirates hijacked two ships off the coast of Somalia on Thursday, the latest of several attacks that have generated international concern.

Pirates fired at a ship sailing under an Iranian flag and boarded it around 2:20 a.m. local time Thursday (10:20 p.m. ET Wednesday), said Noel Chong, head of the International Chamber of Commerce's Piracy Reporting Centre. They hijacked a ship operating under a Japanese flag a few minutes later, he said.
