According to CoinMeta, statistics from the International Maritime Organization show that there have been at least 15 pirate attacks in the waters near Somalia this year, setting a new high since 2013. It is reported that a report by the International Maritime Organization has compiled data on various incidents that have occurred in the Gulf of Aden, the Arabian Sea, and the Indian Ocean within 2000 kilometers of the Somali coast since 1994. Since 2013, the number of pirate attacks recorded each year in this region has not exceeded 10, with 5 attacks in 2025. However, in 2026, the number of pirate attacks has increased significantly, with pirates being particularly active in the Gulf of Aden between Yemen and Somalia.
