- Pirates hijacked two ships off Yemen and Somalia within four days, with at least 22 Indian nationals among the seized crews
- A tanker was seized off Yemen amid what Al Jazeera and The New York Times call a resurgence of Somali piracy, while Politico's headline — 'One beneficiary of the Iran war?' — poses regional spillover as a possible driver
Why it matters: Two hijackings in four days with 22 Indian nationals among the seized crews creates an immediate consular concern for New Delhi and puts waters off Yemen and Somalia back on the active-hijacking map.
