The state of Puntland in northeastern Somalia deployed its naval forces to its coast to confront pirate attacks that have returned again in the state.
The forces are stationed in the coastal areas of Puntland, from which pirates launch their attacks on ships off the Somali coast.
The leaders of those forces indicated that they had reached an agreement with the tribal sultans that would allow them to target those associated with piracy, and they stated that the naval forces would take the coast of the “Garaad” region as their main base to monitor the coasts of Puntland and maintain its security.
Piracy acts have declined significantly since 2012 after the deployment of international forces to the Somali coast, but in recent weeks these acts have returned to the coast of Puntland, which witnessed a number of pirate attacks on ships, which made the state authorities, which were preoccupied with the elections, now turn to confronting them. the problem.
