    An aerial photograph taken from above shows a wooden vessel underway on open blue water, with its deck heavily loaded with numerous green-wrapped bundles or packages arranged in rows.

    An aerial photograph taken from above shows a wooden vessel underway on open blue water, with its deck heavily loaded with numerous green-wrapped bundles or packages arranged in rows. The boat appears to be a traditional dhow-style wooden craft with a covered stern section and open forward deck. At least one or two individuals are visible on deck near the stern area.
    An aerial photograph shows three vessels navigating open blue ocean waters. A large wooden-hulled cargo dhow with a green-painted lower hull and loaded deck occupies the foreground right, accompanied by a smaller fast patrol or interceptor vessel in the middle distance, and a larger naval or coast guard vessel visible in the far background. All three vessels are underway and leaving visible wakes.
    The image shows military or law enforcement personnel on a vessel surrounded by large quantities of green and white bags, along with what appear to be weapons and ammunition cases. This appears to be a maritime interdiction operation, likely a drug or weapons seizure at sea. Multiple personnel in military/tactical clothing are visible among the confiscated materials.
