US Pacific strike kills three on vessel, drawing legal and rights concerns

The operation is part of a broader campaign the article says has killed at least 148 people across 43 attacks since September, prompting criticism from Latin American leaders, legal experts and human-rights advocates who question its legality and accuse the strikes of extrajudicial killings in international waters.

"Indian Navy Thwarts Somali Pirate Hijacking of Cargo Ship Ruen"

The Indian navy intercepted the hijacked cargo ship Ruen, demanding that the Somali pirates on board surrender after they allegedly opened fire on the navy ship in international waters. The pirates seized the Maltese-flagged vessel in December and may have used it in the takeover of a Bangladesh-flagged cargo ship off the coast of Somalia. This marks the first successful hijacking of a merchant ship by Somali pirates since 2017, with at least 17 incidents recorded by the Indian navy since December. India has deployed warships to provide security against pirates and investigated over 250 vessels.
