A Russian oil tanker was hijacked off the coast of Somalia Wednesday morning, a source at Russian Foreign Ministry said.

All 23 crew members of the captured "Moscow University" are Russian nationals, he said.

The pirates remained aboard the Liberian-flagged vessel, which was heading east with a final destination of China, a spokesman of the EU Naval Force said in a statement.
