Spanish Forces Rescue Tanker from Somali Pirates

Spanish special forces successfully rescued a tanker from Somali pirates on November seventh, with the Hellas Aphrodite crew safely locked in a citadel. The European Unions anti-piracy coalition, Operation Atalanta, praised the swift response involving a frigate, helicopter, drone, and another aircraft. Despite the rescue, the threat remains high, with the pirate mother ship and attackers still in the area. A joint operation is underway to intercept the dhow used in the attack. This incident follows a series of recent attacks, highlighting the resurgence of Somali pirate activity due to regional instability.The Daily News Now! — Every city. Every story. AI-powered.
