Somali and Turkish forces free hijacked ship

During a military operation lasting ten days, Somali and Turkish forces liberated a ship flying the Cameroonian flag named "Lutuf," which had been held hostage by pirates in Somali waters. The operation resulted in the death of 14 pirates and the destruction of four of their boats, while the remaining pirates fled after intense military pressure. The ship, which was carrying Turkish weapons, was secured after liberation and safely returned to its course. This operation is part of a defense cooperation between Somalia and Turkey to combat piracy and enhance maritime security, especially amid a surge in pirate attacks since April 2026, targeting oil tankers and chemical ships off the coasts of Yemen and Somalia. Turkey also announced the reactivation of patrol boats to support the capabilities of the Somali Coast Guard and to strengthen security cooperation between the two countries.
