On August 21 and 22, several eastbound vessels within the Singapore Strait Traffic Separation Scheme (TSS) were attacked.
Three were targeted during the night of the August 20/21 and another three the following night.
The attacks occurred between The Brothers (Pulau Iyu Besar and Pulau Iyu Kecil) and the vicinity of Buffalo Rock, south of the Jong Fairway.
It is believed that the same craft may have been responsible for all six incidents.
Numerous other occurrences are reported to have taken place in this area in 2015 - many of them involving small, eastbound vessels.
