Indian Navy rescues 23 Pakistanis from Iranian fishing boat attacked by nine armed pirates about 90 nautical miles southwest of Socotra.
In response to a pirate attack in the Arabian Sea, the Indian Navy conducted a successful anti-piracy operation, intercepting a hijacked Iranian fishing vessel on March 29. The vessel, named 'Al-Kambar 786', was reportedly targeted by pirates, prompting the Indian Navy to deploy two naval ships for maritime security operations.

Following the rescue, Indian naval teams meticulously sanitized the vessel and ensured its seaworthiness before escorting it to safety. This action aimed to facilitate the resumption of normal fishing activities. The successful operation underscores the Indian Navy's commitment to combating piracy in the region and safeguarding maritime security. The prompt and decisive response highlights the Navy's capability to swiftly address threats and protect vessels navigating the waters of the Arabian Sea. This rescue operation serves as a testament to the collaborative efforts and readiness of Indian naval forces in maintaining stability and safety in the maritime domain.
