Italy says U.S. and British forces have freed an Italian vessel1 that was hijacked2 off Somalia on Monday.
The MV Montecristo had been seized 1,000 kilometers off Somalia's eastern coast, carrying 23 crew members from Italy, Ukraine and India.
The Italian Foreign Ministry3 said Tuesday that the ship was freed by units of the U.S. and British navies, operating under NATO's anti-piracy initiative Operation Shield.
Details on the operation were sketchy4, but the ministry says the 11 pirates who hijacked the ship surrendered and were taken into custody5.
Meanwhile, the Italian shipowners association says military forces will soon be stationed on all Italian merchant ships to protect against attacks by Somali pirates.
