Pirates on Wednesday reportedly attempted to attack a vessel on Nigeria waters.

Guards Fight Off Violent Pirate Attack Off Nigeria

The attack, however, was unsuccessful as armed guards on board the ship fired warning shots, forcing the pirates to abort their mission.

Reports say the security crew spotted two suspicious speedboats approaching the vessel while sailing at 85 nm Southwest of Brass in Nigeria and promptly took action.

The threat was successfully neutralized and all crew members are safe.
