23 Pakistanis were spared death on Friday, March 29, when the Indian Navy engaged pirates off the coast of Somalia. On social media, the Navy stated
Nine pirates from Somalia took it. The ship was around 166 kilometers southwest of Yemen's Socotra Island. The Indian Navy sent its destroyer, INS Sumedha, to intercept the Iranian ship as soon as it received the information about the hijack.
Nine pirates gave themselves up during the 12-hour operation, which was led by two Navy cruisers.
Following this, the Navy freed the ship from the pirates with the assistance of another cruiser, the INS Trishul. The criminals were compelled to surrender by the naval crew during a 12-hour operation. The team is currently looking into the ship. It will then be brought to a secure location.
In the Arabian Sea, Somali pirates have been taking over more ships since the Israel-Hamas conflict began in October of last year. The Indian Navy has boosted the number of warships stationed in the Arabian Sea in order to combat this.
The Indian Navy's operation to free the ship MV Rouen, which was taken over three months prior on December 14 in the Gulf of Aden, was concluded on March 15. The operation was carried out 2,800 kilometers off the coast of India. According to the Navy, after their action, seventeen crew members were safely evacuated and thirty-five pirates surrendered.
For over 110 days, pirates held the crew of the ship captive. For forty hours, this rescue operation was underway. The P8I patrolling aircraft, high-flying drones, and the battleship INS Subhadra were deployed to achieve this. The Indian Navy currently owns the entire hijacked ship, MV Rouen.
The Indian Navy destroyer INS Sumitra saved an Iranian ship from pirates on January 29 as it was stationed off the coast of Somalia. The crew member and the other 17 passengers on board, according to the Navy, are all safe.
According to Commander Vivek Madhwal, a spokesman for the Navy, INS Sumitra was informed of the hijacking of the Iranian-flagged ship Iman in the Gulf of Aden. The Iranian ship and her crew were rescued from the pirates by the swift response of the ship's security.
