Turkish Warships Head to Somalia to Escort Fishing Vessel Amid Political Turmoil

Türkiye ·

Turkey says two of its warships are heading to Mogadishu to escort a fishing vessel and take over duties in its naval task group there. No start date has been announced for the vessel's trial fishing, and the frigates' stay has not been stated. The Turkish Ministry of National Defence posted the announcement.

Türkiye has built close military, development and training ties with Somalia over more than a decade, and Somalia lies on the Horn of Africa along the Gulf of Aden and the Indian Ocean.
