Federal Government States Those Killed on Puntland Coasts Were Pirates
The Federal Government of Somalia stated that the individuals killed on the Puntland coasts were pirates, justifying the operation conducted by Turkish naval forces in cooperation with the Somali National Army. This statement appears to be a response to Puntland's earlier claims of civilian casualties. The federal government asserts that the joint forces successfully rescued a ship during the operation.
