In the course of a 12-hour operation in the Arabian Sea, the Indian Navy freed 23 citizens of Pakistan from Somali pirates. Ensuring the safety of the hijacked vessel ‘FV A1-Kambar’, INS Sumedha and INS Trishul successfully caught the pirates.
The Indian Navy conducted a 12-hour operation in the Arabian Sea on Friday, saving 23 citizens of Pakistan from Somali pirates. Early on March 29, according to ANI, the stolen vessel “FV A1-Kambar” was intercepted by the Indian Navy cruiser INS Sumedha.
To support the mission, INS Sumedha was quickly joined by INS Trishul. They initiated talks with the pirates and demanded that they surrender without a battle. With the surrender, the Indian Navy maintained the security of maritime activities in the region and won a decisive success in the war against piracy.
after the successful capture of the pirates, Indian Naval experts boarded the FV Al-Kambar to conduct thorough sanitization and seaworthiness inspections. The goal was to ensure the ship’s safety before directing it to a secure area so that its crew could return to their regular fishing operations.
As the Indian Navy responded to a potential piracy strike on an Iranian fishing vessel in the Arabian Sea on Friday night, it redirected two of its ships to intercept the stolen vessel.
According to ANI sources, two Indian Naval ships were sent out for maritime security operations in the Arabian Sea after receiving the information in order to apprehend the stolen fishing vessel.
About ninety nautical miles southwest of Socotra, the Iranian vessel was reportedly boarded by nine armed pirates during the incident. On March 29, the stolen fishing vessel was apprehended.
“We remain committed to ensuring maritime security in the region and safety of seafarers, irrespective of nationalities,” the Indian Navy stated in an official statement.
It is important to remember that the Indian Navy has conducted a number of intense operations in response to piracy attacks, the most recent of which took place in the first few days of March. Nearly 2600 kilometers off the Indian Coast, the pirate ship Ruen was under attack when the navy detected it and used well-timed tactics to bring it to a stop.
