Iraqi clan rescues fuel tanker from Somali pirates
The Iraqi Shaghabana tribe successfully liberated a oil tanker that was hijacked by Somali pirates last month off the Somali coast, through coordination with Somali authorities and an operation that lasted more than five hours, resulting in the death of some pirates. Somali authorities began pursuing the tanker and succeeded in setting up an ambush at sea, which allowed for its rescue. However, three other tankers remain hostage. Piracy along the Somali coast has reemerged after years of decline, with the International Maritime Organization recording the highest number of incidents since 2013 since April of this year. This revival raises concerns about piracy incidents and their impact on maritime security.
