Turkish-Somali Forces Free Hijacked Cargo Ship Lutuf Off Puntland

Turkish and Somali forces freed the cargo ship Lutuf after a 10-day counter-piracy operation off Somalia's Puntland coast, ending a hijacking that began earlier this month. The operation marks a notable joint military response in a region where piracy incidents have been sporadic but persistent. Details on the crew's condition and pirate disposition remain unconfirmed.
