The U.S. Navy apprehended nine suspected pirates early Thursday morning in the western region of the Gulf of Aden . . .
Missile cruiser USS Vella Gulf responded to a distress call from an Indian flagged motor ship named Premdivya that was being attacked by pirates.
The Vella responded by launching a helicopter that fired warning shots in the vicinity of the pirates who were traveling in a small skiff.
The pirates stopped their attempts to flee after the second shot and then members of the USS Mahan, which was acting in support of the Vella Gulf, boarded the skiff and apprehended the nine suspects, all believed to be from Somalia
