Transport ministry officials said Tuesday they are investigating whether pirates were involved in the attack on the Oriental Rose vessel on Monday in the Gulf of Aden.

The 8,259-ton ship was carrying 21 crew members including 19 Filipinos and two South Koreans. Two crew suffered cuts from broken shards of glass resulting from gunfire.

The vessel, escorted by a Chinese warship, departed the Dutch port of Rotterdam and is continuing to its original destination of Kandla, India.
