Indian Navy announces “suppression of pirates who hijacked a cargo ship off the coast of Somalia” The Indian Navy was able to subdue 35 pirates and safely evacuate 17 crew members of the cargo ship. The number of pirate attacks has been on the decline until recently.

However, since November of last year, the Houthis have been attacking ships one after another in the Red Sea area. International Maritime Organization Director-General Dominguez said that Somali pirates are targeting ships that have detoured to the Indian Ocean.
