Indian navy recaptures Somali pirate ship and frees crew
Bulgarian-owned MV Ruen was hijacked in December 2023 in rare recent case of Somali piracy
India’s navy said it recaptured a ship from Somali pirates off the Indian coast on Saturday, rescuing the crew and ending a three-month takeover of the bulk carrier MV Ruen.
The hijacking in December 2023 was the first time since 2017 any cargo vessel had been successfully boarded by Somali pirates.
