The U.S. Navy says it has intercepted two boats carrying weapons off the coast of the Indian Ocean off Somalia.


The U.S. military says the boats were carrying weapons and were heading for Somalia.


Officials with the USS Winston S. Churchill also underlined that they had warned the occupants of the boats carrying weapons.



The United States has not commented on the whereabouts of the seized boats and who carried the seized weapons, including Kalashnikov AK-47 assault rifles, assault rifles, machine guns, RPGs or 7s. and Crew-served weapons operated by infantry.

 

A video released by U.S. forces seizing the weapons also showed troops searching the boats.


However, this comes at a time when Somalia is currently in a difficult period of transition, with fears of anarchy, and al-Shabaab has recently stepped up its attacks.
