The Indian Navy's specialized team successfully shielded the Pakistani crew from nine armed pirates and meticulously conducted sanitation and seaworthiness inspections of the fishing vessel Al-Kambar.
After being rescued from the pirates, the Pakistani crew of the Iranian-flagged fishing vessel enthusiastically chanted "India Zindabad" slogans in the Arabian Sea.
Acting on intelligence regarding a potential piracy incident onboard an Iranian fishing vessel on March 28, two Indian Naval ships deployed in the Arabian Sea for maritime security operations were diverted to intercept the hijacked vessel.
The fishing vessel, located approximately 90 Nm southwest of Socotra at the time of the incident, was reported to have been boarded by nine armed pirates. The hijacked vessel was successfully intercepted on March 29.
The Indian Navy reaffirms its commitment to ensuring maritime security in the region and the safety of seafarers, regardless of nationality.
