A Chinese-owned fishing vessel with 18 crew members was hijacked off the northeastern coast of Somalia last week.

The hijackers, including the ship's security guards, joined forces with armed men from the coastal region.

The European Union's anti-piracy naval force, Eunavfor Atalanta, confirmed the incident and confirmed that armed men were in control. The incident has been classified as armed robbery at sea. The vessel, registered under Taiwan's flag, is currently believed to be in Maraya, a village along the coast under the jurisdiction of Eyl district. The incident highlights the persistent challenges of maritime security in Somalia's waters.
