Somali and Turkish forces free hijacked ship after 10 days
Somali and Turkish forces have liberated a hijacked ship named "Lutov" that was being held off the coast of Somalia. The operation, which lasted 10 days, resulted in the killing of 14 pirates and the destruction of four boats used by the pirate group. The vessel, flying the Cameroonian flag and en route from Turkey to Tanzania, carrying Turkish weapons, was safely recovered after the operation. This action comes as part of a defense cooperation agreement between Somalia and Turkey aimed at strengthening maritime security and combating piracy. It follows a surge in attacks since April on cargo ships off the Somali coast, which are impacting shipping in the Red Sea.
