Puntland forces recapture hijacked tanker, revealing five crew killed by Somali pirates
Somali pirates killed five crew members aboard the oil tanker MT Honour 25 before Puntland security forces rescued the vessel. The deaths, the first of their kind in over a decade, occurred after the ship was hijacked in April. Authorities arrested 16 suspects but noted others escaped. The incident highlights a resurgence in piracy linked to regional instability.
