JAKARTA - Indonesia maritime authority has detained four boats including two Malaysian-flagged boats over alleged illegal fishing in the country's waters.

In a statement, the Ministry of Marine Affairs and Fisheries said two Malaysian-flagged boats with registration PKFB 1269 and dan PKFB 1280 were detected in the Straits of Melaka on June 8.

"This demonstates our commitment to eradicate illegal fishing as well as protecting marine and fishery resources," its director-general of marine and fisheries resources surveillance, Adin Nurawaluddin said.

He said the boats and the seized items were taken to the Belawan Fishing Port, in Medan, North Sumatra for further investigation.
