Action of 11 November 2008

The Action of 11 November 2008 was a naval engagement fought off Somalia between pirates and British forces. Russia has stated that its forces fought off the pirates also, though Russia's involvement has been disputed by the Royal Navy. The incident took place south of the Yemeni coast, in the Gulf of Aden, and the engagement is a part of Operation Enduring Freedom - Horn of Africa. When the Royal Navy ship HMS ''Cumberland'' attempted to board a Somali pirate dhow with twelve pirates on board, the pirates initially resisted with assault rifle fire. After a brief shoot-out with the Royal Marines, two pirates were killed and the dhow was captured by ''Cumberland''. ''The Times'' has described the incident as "the first time the Royal Navy had been engaged in a fatal shoot-out on the high seas in living memory."〔 ''The Independent'' has also stated that the confrontation "is believed to be the first time recently that British () service personnel have been involved in a confrontation that resulted in deaths", and ''The Toronto Star'' has stated that the engagement is "the first time since the 1982 Falklands War that the Royal Navy had killed anyone on the high seas."〔 ''Russia Today'' has reported that the incident was "the first time Russian forces have moved against Somali pirates."
==Background==
