European Union Naval Force (EUNAVFOR)

The European Union Naval Force (EUNAVFOR) is a military mission established by the European Union to combat piracy, human trafficking, and other illicit activities at sea, primarily off the coast of Somalia. Comprising naval ships and personnel from member countries, its goal is to ensure safe shipping routes, stabilize the region, and support international efforts to promote maritime security. EUNAVFOR operates by patrolling international waters, interdicting pirate ships, and assisting local authorities, thereby helping to maintain free and secure maritime commerce in strategic areas.
