Twelve armed Somali pirates hijacked the Iranian fishing boat *Azeeni* on October 29 off the coast of Puntland in northeastern Somalia. On board were 21 Iranian fishermen and two Somali guards, who were disarmed; the crew’s safety has not been confirmed. The European Maritime Security Centre warned that the boat could be used to support further attacks after it was spotted heading toward busy shipping lanes in the western Indian Ocean. The incident comes amid a resurgence in Somali piracy, with more than 15 attacks or attempted hijackings recorded since April 2026—the highest level since 2013.
