Armed men seize Somali cargo ship
The British Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO) reported that armed militants seized eight cargo ships off the coast of Somalia and took control of them. This incident reflects a resurgence of Somali pirate activity starting from April 2026 after a period of relative calm. The situation continues to involve kidnapping operations targeting oil tankers and cargo ships, with some crew members still held hostage. The international maritime authorities and Somali officials are closely monitoring the situation.
