Somali pirates seize Yemeni fishing boat, marking a rise in piracy off Somalia's coast in 2024.

Somali pirates have seized a Yemeni fishing boat off the coast of Somalia near Eyl, according to authorities. The European naval operation EUNAVFOR Atalanta is investigating the incident. The pirates stole three small boats with 60-horsepower engines. This attack marks a resurgence in piracy, with seven reported incidents off Somalia in 2024, partly due to insecurity from Yemen's Houthi rebels.
