[Regnum] In the Indian Ocean, pirates hijacked the MV Abdullah, flying the flag of Bangladesh. This was reported by the Indian newspaper The Business Standard.
According to the publication, the ship, which carried 23 crew members, was captured by about 50 pirates off the coast of Somalia.
“The vessel managed to send a message to its company around 1:30 p.m., saying that everything was safe,” the publication reports the words of SR Shipping CEO Meherul Karim.
The ship was traveling from Mozambique to Dubai, passing through a low-risk area, Karim said. However, Somali pirates have expanded their network and hijacked the ship, he added.
“We are actively working to rescue all crew members in accordance with established protocols,” Karim emphasized, adding that the ship was hijacked approximately two days ago.
It is noted that MV Abdullah, classified as a bulk carrier, has a length overall (LOA) of 185.74 meters and a beam of 30.4 meters.
As Regnum reported, at the end of January, Somali pirates in the Arabian Sea captured the fishing trawler Lorenzo Putha-4 from Sri Lanka.
According to the Department of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources of Sri Lanka, pirates attacked the fishing vessel on January 27. There were six crew members on board the trawler.
The trawler left Sri Lanka on January 12. According to the director general of the department, Susanta Kakhawata, the Sri Lankan authorities have no contact with the crew; they learned about the seizure from the crews of other ships located nearby.
Earlier, on January 12, the US Central Command reported two American soldiers missing off the coast of Somalia. They disappeared during a military operation by the US Navy near an African state - in the area of operations of the US 5th Fleet.
Before this, on January 5, Somali pirates hijacked the cargo ship MV Lila Norfolk, which was sailing under the flag of Liberia. There were 15 Indian sailors on board.

An explosion occurred near the ship, but caused no damage, authorities said.
The ship's captain reported the earth-shattering kaboom Monday and said no one was injured, the British military's maritime commercial operations center said. The UKMTO later identified the ship as the Pinocchio, run by a Singaporean company.
The Houthis used two anti-ship ballistic missiles in the attack, the US military's Central Command said.
Houthi military front man Brigadier General Yahya Saree grabbed credit for the attack early Tuesday in a pre-recorded statement, saying the Pinocchio was a US ship, without providing evidence to support the claim.

Somebody has to sit on the curb and applaud when they go by... Houthi attacks on shipping since November have increasingly often had a tenuous or no connection to Israel , the United States or other countries involved in the war.
Monday's attack comes after a Houthi missile struck a commercial ship in the Gulf of Aden last week, killing three crew members and forcing survivors to abandon ship.
It was the first deadly strike in a campaign of attacks by the Iran-backed group against Israel's war against Hamas in the Gaza Strip. The Houthis say these attacks are intended to pressure Israel to stop the war, but their targets increasingly have little or nothing to do with the conflict.
Other recent Houthi actions include last month's attack on a fertilizer cargo ship, the Rubymar, which sank after drifting for several days, and the shooting down of a US drone worth tens of millions of dollars.
The United States has carried out a series of Arclight airstrike ...KABOOM!... s targeting the Houthis since January but has yet to stop rebel attacks on shipping, which has disrupted trade in the Red Sea, a crucial waterway for energy and freight transport between Asia, the Middle East and Europe.

more and much higher power explosives hitting the Houthis is what is needed
however, that requires Biden's authorization and that would result in extensive civilian fatalities

^Nobody cares about "civilian casualties" outside Gaza.
#5
actually even though Biden's people may not care about civilian Houthi casualties, his advisers do
this is because he has made so many statements about Gaza civilian casualties that it would look bad and give the anti Biden people some powerful talking points

[KavkazUzel] A military court in Rostov-on-Don found a Stavropol resident involved in a terrorist organization, sentencing him to 10 years and six months in prison, the FSB reported.
The Southern District Military Court in Rostov-on-Don sentenced a resident of Stavropol for participation in the activities of a terrorist organization, the Stavropol Territory State Television and Radio Broadcasting Company reported today with reference to the press service of the Russian Federal Security Service for the Stavropol Territory.
According to the investigation and the court, in 2023 the man voluntarily became a supporter of the international terrorist organization "Islamic State," banned in the Russian Federation. In the future, he planned to commit crimes on her behalf, but was detained. The court found the Stavropol resident guilty and sentenced him to ten and a half years in prison. He will spend the first two years in prison, and the remaining term in a maximum security colony, the report states.
The "Caucasian Knot" also reported that in February, a military court in Rostov-on-Don sentenced two residents of Pyatigorsk to 12 and 12 and a half years in prison, who, according to the investigation and the court, participated in the activities of the "Islamic State" and intended to blow up building of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
Analysts interviewed by the Caucasian Knot, commenting on regular reports on the prevention of terrorist attacks, suggested that intelligence services are motivated to disseminate falsified reports about the detention of alleged terrorists in the Stavropol region to improve reporting and for propaganda purposes. The likely purpose of such propaganda may be to warn about the consequences of participation in radical organizations.

[KavkazUzel] A Kalashnikov assault rifle and an explosive device were found at the home of a resident of the village of Alkhasty, he was detained, the Ingushetia police reported.
As the Caucasian Knot wrote, on March 3 in Karabulak, during a counter-terrorism operation (CTO), security forces killed six alleged militants, including, according to sources, Tagir Tsuroev, who was wanted in a terrorism case. Sources also reported that on the outskirts of the village of Alkhasty, Sunzhensky district, a cache of food and medicine was discovered, which allegedly belonged to militant Tagir Tsuroyev. Security forces killed him during a counter-terrorism operation in Karabulak.
On the evening of March 2, a counter-terrorist operation regime was introduced in one of the blocks in the center of Karabulak. The National Anti-Terrorism Committee (NAC) reported that the militants, while trying to detain them, opened fire on the security forces, a shootout ensued, and residents of nearby houses were evacuated. On March 3, NAC announced that six Islamic State militants were killed in the shootout, three of whom were on the federal wanted list.
In one of the houses in the village of Alkhasty, Sunzhensky district, employees of the Center for Combating Extremism and the Canine Service Center of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for the Republic of Ingushetia, as well as employees of the Federal Security Service of Russia for the Republic of Ingushetia and Center “E” of the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia for the North Caucasus Federal District found and seized a Kalashnikov assault rifle, caliber 7.62 millimeters, an empty magazine and 12 cartridges for it, as well as homemade explosive ammunition, the Ingushetia Ministry of Internal Affairs reported today in its Telegram channel.
A criminal case was opened against the owner of the house for illegal trafficking in explosives or explosive devices (Part 1 of Article 222.1 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation), he was detained, the message states.
Also today, the police of Ingushetia confirmed that near the village of Alkhasty a cache of medicines and food was discovered, in particular buckwheat, sugar, stewed meat, instant food products and dressings. Presumably, the cache belonged to militants killed in Karabulak, as indicated in another message on the department’s Telegram channel.
[AFRICANEWS] Spanish maritime rescuers said they had pulled out 38 people alive and recovered the remains of two others from a migrant boat that had left West Africa and was trying to reach the Canary Islands.
The boat was spotted by a merchant ship 140 km south of Gran Canaria on Monday evening.
Four people at death's door were evacuated to a hospital aboard two helicopters, while 34 others were transported by boat to the port of Arguineguín, Spain's maritime rescue service said. Among the survivors are seven women.
Spanish authorities are facing an influx of migrants colonists and refugees from West Africa reaching the archipelago, a springboard to continental Europe.
Nearly 12,000 people fleeing poverty, conflict and instability in West Africa arrived in the Canaries in the first two months of the year, according to the Spanish Interior Ministry, more than six times the number recorded during the same period last year.
Most migrants colonists set out from the Mauritanian coast on artisanal fishing boats called pirogues and navigate for several days against the strong winds and currents of the Atlantic. While thousands of people survived this risky journey, many died or disappeared along the way and the remains were sometimes washed across the Atlantic.
Last week, two canoes that had left Mauritania for Spain were found adrift hundreds of kilometers away, near the Cape Verde archipelago, after failing to reach their destination, according to the police.
Eleven survivors were rescued from one boat and five more from the second boat, but one person later died. Five bodies were also found and dozens more were believed to have been lost at sea.

[IsraelTimes] Freed hostage Keren Munder tells crowd of 3,000 that NY Jewish community ’gives us strength’; demonstrators urge US to pressure Arab nation mediators, Israel to reach hostage deal.
An Israeli hostage who was released from Hamas ...a regional Iranian catspaw,... captivity said the support of New York’s Jewish community "gives us strength" as thousands of demonstrators gathered in Central Park on Sunday morning to mark 150 days since the captives were taken in the devastating October 7 Hamas terror attack on Israel.
"This support is really moving," said Keren Munder, who was taken from Kibbutz Nir Oz with other members of her family. She was released in November, during a temporary ceasefire, with her 9-year-old son, Ohad, and her mother, Ruti, 78. Her father, Avraham Munder, 78, remains in captivity.
"I really feel the support and I hope it will help us return them home," Munder told the New York Jewish Week. "It warms the heart and feels like all the Jewish people are unified for this purpose."
More than 3,000 people attended the demonstration, according to organizers from the Hostages and Missing Families Forum, an advocacy group for the hostages. The crowd waved Israeli flags, chanted "Bring them home" and heard from Jewish community leaders and family members of those still held captive.
Many held signs with photos of the hostages, some with "156 days" written on the placards, the number of days since the hostages were taken. Organizers distributed flags from over 30 countries representing the different nationalities of the hostages.
Gilad Korngold, whose son Tal Shoham was taken hostage from his home on Kibbutz Beeri, urged the crowd to pressure elected officials to take action to release the captives.
"We need all of you because the only power who can move something in the Middle East is the US," Korngold said, adding that the United States should increase its pressure on Qatar ...an emirate on the east coast of the Arabian Peninsula. It sits on some really productive gas and oil deposits, which produces the highest per capita income in the world. They piss it all away on religion, financing the Moslem Brotherhood and several al-Qaeda affiliates. Home of nutbag holy manYusuf al-Qaradawi... , Egypt, and Israel to reach a hostage deal. "Please do everything you can do."
Other speakers included Mark Treyger, the new head of the Jewish Community Relations Council of New York; Eric Dinowitz, the leader of the city council’s Jewish Caucus; and Rabbi Angela Buchdahl of Manhattan’s Reform Central Synagogue.
Attendees said they were grappling with the duration of the crisis. Yet they also expressed delight at the unity in the crowd and said they remained hopeful that the hostages would be freed.
"It’s shocking that this is still going on. I can’t reconcile it," said Bronx resident Tamar Bar-David. She said she had recently returned from Israel, where she visited sites of Hamas atrocities, and was attending her first demonstration.
"I think people are a little dull with the pain, exhausted, but we all want to stay hopeful because the alternative is just too painful, to live in a world where these kinds of things happen," she said.
Hannah Simpson, from Harlem, said, "I think we’re all scared and afraid to say that we’re losing hope, that we don’t know how these individuals who are still held captive are being treated."
"But we’re not giving up, we’re standing resolute, reminding the world," said Simpson, a writer, and activist on transgender issues who is Jewish and has demonstrated on behalf of the Israeli victims of Hamas’s attack since shortly after October 7.
Adam Marks, an Australian visiting New York, said he appreciated how open the New York crowd was about its support for Israel and the hostages. "How the world isn’t screaming for their release like we are today, it’s absolutely ridiculous," he said.
After the speeches, the crowd marched through Central Park in a long, winding line of blue-and-white Israeli flags. A group of marchers led by a guitarist sang "One Day" by Jewish musician Matisyahu, who had a third concert canceled in response to the threat of pro-Paleostinian protests just two days prior.
At the head of the procession, Munder and the hostage families carried a banner saying "Bring Them Home" and sang a traditional song based on words attributed to the founder of the Breslover Hasidic movement, Rabbi Nachman.
"The whole entire world is a narrow bridge," they sang in Hebrew. "The essential thing is to not be afraid at all."

A little too late for Biden to invite him to the SOTU speech.
[IsraelTimes] Teen identified as Rami Hamdan al-Halhouli of the Shuafat refugee camp; Border Police boost presence in capital amid Ramadan tensions
A 13-year-old Paleostinian accused of shooting fireworks toward security forces was shot and killed by police in East Jerusalem on Tuesday evening amid festivities in the area on the second night of Ramadan.
The Wafa Paleostinian news agency identified the teen as Rami Hamdan al-Halhouli, a resident of the Shuafat refugee camp in Jerusalem, and said he died of his wounds in a hospital after being critically injured by the gunfire. If you can't be a good example, be a horrible lesson
According to police, a "violent mostly peaceful disorder" broke out in Shuafat on Tuesday evening, with rioters throwing Molotov cocktails and shooting fireworks "directly at security forces." Police said they posted extra Border Police forces in the area following similar festivities a night earlier, amid high tensions at the onset of Ramadan in the shadow of the ongoing war in Gazoo ...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response... During the festivities Tuesday, police said, a Border Police officer fired toward "a suspect who endangered security forces by firing fireworks directly at them." Police said the suspect was caught, arrested and taken for medical treatment. He was later declared dead.
Police said officers dispersed the clash without any harm to security forces, and that police will "continue to act resolutely against violent mostly peaceful troublemakers. Whoever endangers security forces of civilians — endangers his own life."
In video of the incident circulating on social media, the teen can be seen setting off the firework and running forward while holding it before he is shot. It is not clear from the video how close the coppers were.
National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir issued a statement in support of the "Border Police officers who risked their lives in the face of dozens of Arab rioters," and offered his backing to "the fighter who killed the terrorist who tried to shoot fireworks toward him and toward forces. This is exactly how we must again against murderous Moslems — with determination and precision."
[AFRICANEWS] Palestinians began fasting for Ramadan on Monday as the Muslim holy month arrived with cease-fire talks at a standstill, hunger worsening across the Gaza Strip and no end in sight to the five-month-old Israel's war on Gaza.
"This month of Ramadan is different from all previous Ramadans," said Ramallah resident Bilal abed Rabbo.
There was little to celebrate after five months of war that has killed over 30,000 Palestinians and left much of Gaza in ruins.
Families would ordinarily break the daily fast with holiday feasts, but even where food is available, there is little beyond canned goods, and the prices are too high for many.
In the weekly cabinet meeting, Palestinian Prime Minister Mohammed Shtayyeh said: "The month of Ramadan comes this year, while our people in the Gaza Strip are starving and bleeding due to the genocide crimes that continue unabated. We look forward to the intervention of the International Court of Justice to stop these horrific crimes, and we ask god to make the days of the holy month days in which these crimes stop and the blood flow stops bleeding, and to be suitable for saving the hungry and sick from the danger that kills them."
Some Palestinians believe that there will be an escalation against the Israelis during the month of Ramadan.
"I believe that martyrdom operations will increase and resistance will increase, especially with regard to the issue of Al-Aqsa and preventing worshipers, especially young people, from entering and reaching Al-Aqsa Mosque for the sake of prayer," said Ramallah resident Jamal al- Siuri.
