What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

The International Maritime Bureau is tracking incidents of piracy off the coast of Somalia. An Eritrea-flagged oil tanker, Sibu 1, was seized on August 20 by armed individuals. The Puntland Maritime Police Force claimed they conducted a counter-piracy operation and successfully freed the vessel. The Sibu 1 was reportedly under US Treasury sanctions due to alleged involvement in a shadow fleet helping Iranian petroleum products evade US sanctions.
