Chinese fishing vessel hijacked off Puntland
The 'Liao Dong Yu 578' was hijacked off the Puntland coast, Somalia, by pirates on the afternoon of Jan 1, 2026. It was attacked off the coast of Bandarbeyla by pirates intending to release the crew members in exchange for ransom. It was its second hijacking. It was earlier captured off Puntland in Nov 2024 and was released in Jan 2025 after a ransom of 2 million dollars was paid to the pirates. The hijacking incident was confirmed by the European Union’s Naval Force. Dave Harvilicz, Deputy Secretary for Cyber, Infrastructure, Risk and Resilience Policies at the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, said that the vessel was doing illegal, unregulated and unreported fishing off Somalia. It caught the previous yellowfin tuna, whose stocks are being rapidly depleted.
