Watch: Indian Navy’s MARCOs Rescue All Onboard Hijacked Ship MV Lila Norfolk In Dramatic Operation

The Indian Navy executed a daring rescue operation to save all 21 crew members of the hijacked MV Lila Norfolk, a Liberian-flagged vessel, 460 nautical miles off Somalia. Elite marine commandos, MARCOs, led the mission in the North Arabian Sea on January 5. A swift response, including a warship, patrol aircraft, helicopters, and drones, thwarted the hijacking attempt by five to six armed pirates. This incident follows a recent drone attack on the MV Chem Pluto, highlighting the Indian Navy's increased vigilance in the Arabian Sea amid escalating maritime threats.
