Indian Navy Rescues Hijacked Vessel from Somali Pirates: 19 Pakistani Lives Saved

In a recent triumph against piracy, India's naval vessel INS Sumitra executed a second successful rescue operation, this time thwarting an armed pirate attack on the fishing vessel FV Iman off Somalia's east coast.


The vessel, Al Naeemi, and its 19-member crew, predominantly Pakistani nationals, were successfully rescued from the clutches of 11 Somali pirates. The operation follows closely on the heels of I



NS Sumitra's earlier mission where it safely rescued the Iranian-flagged fishing vessel Iman, securing the release of its 17 crew members.


The Indian Navy's swift and strategic response underscores its commitment to anti-piracy efforts in the Arabian Sea.
