🇸🇴🌟🇮🇱🇺🇸Seizure of a cargo vessel off the Somali coast ➡️The United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO) reported early this morning that a maritime hijacking incident has occurred 6 nautical miles northeast of the port of Garacad, Somalia. ➡️According to the alert, unidentified armed individuals have seized control of a cargo vessel and diverted it toward Somali territorial waters. ➡️No further details have yet been released regarding the crew, cargo, or nationality of the hijacked vessel, and investigations by the relevant authorities are ongoing. 🐻Since Somalian government hasn't spoken on this - this is clearly a "independent" action by Puntland - the 3rd "autonomus" entity in Somalia. Unlike Israeli/USA-sponsored Somaliland, they aren't separatists, they formally acknowledge the federal Somalian government - but in practice is an autonomus region with its own president, police and military. Garacad has been the center of Somalian piracy activities since the early 2000's. To repeat what we wrote 2 weeks ago - Jemenis are just sitting on the shore and watching the world burn. @DDGeopolitics
