GermanyTurkish and Somali forces successfully freed a hijacked vessel, the MV LUTUF, after a 10-day operation in Somali waters. The joint military effort resulted in the deaths of 14 pirates and the destruction of four pirate boats. The vessel, flagged under Cameroon, had been seized by pirates on August 17 near the Nugaal region of Puntland state. The operation was conducted under a defense cooperation agreement between Turkey and Somalia. According to AFP sources, at least eight crew members, including one Turkish national, were onboard. The incident highlights a resurgence of piracy off Somalia’s coast, with at least 15 attacks reported this year, marking the highest level since 2013.
