The return of Somali pirates has raised fears of attacks on cargo ships. The cause of this resurgence is attributed to the pirates' ability to operate with impunity, largely due to the instability in the region.
The evidence behind this comes from recent incidents, including the seizure of an Iranian fishing vessel and the rescue of its crew by the Indian Navy. The Indian Navy's swift response highlights the complexity of the issue, as it involves both regional and international cooperation to combat piracy.
