Four foreign ships seized

BATAM, Riau: The Navy's western security fleet has seized four ships flying foreign flags in Indonesian waters in the past week.

Two of the ships, the KM Barito and KM Dewata, are from Thailand, one is from Singapore and one from Malaysia.

The ships are being held at the naval base of Batu Hitam in Tanjungpinang and Tanjungunggat, Riau.

The ships were sailing around Natuna Island where the KRI Leuser 924 warship routinely patrols. They were arrested for operating without legal documentation. --Antara
