The Iranian fishing vessel, Al-Kambar 786, was out fishing in the Arabian Sea with 23 Pakistani crew members when pirates suddenly attacked and took over the ship. The Navy command got the news and immediately stepped up efforts to rescue the hijacked ship. The patrol ship INS Sumedha played a crucial role in spotting the hijacked Iranian ship, which was found about 167 kilometers away from the coastline. Additionally, the guided missile frigate INS Trishul played a vital role in freeing Al-Kambar from the pirates.
After finding the Iranian ship, a mission began to rescue it securely. The Indian Navy and the pirates battled for around 12 hours. Finally, the courageous Indian Navy soldiers made the robbers surrender. After that, the Iranian ship Al-Kambar was moved to a safe zone with an escort. Indian Navy officials mentioned that this happened on Thursday. All 23 Pakistani citizens are also safe. It’s worth noting that ships from neighboring countries often come to this area for fishing.
In recent months, piracy has become a big problem in the Gulf of Aden and the Indian Ocean region. It’s causing major issues for international trade at sea. Somali pirates and Houthi rebels have even blocked the Suez Canal. Because of these constant attacks, maritime trade has taken a hit, and many ships’ supplies have been disrupted. To tackle this, the Indian Navy has started Operation Sankalp in the Gulf of Aden, Arabian Sea, and Indian Ocean. Its goal is to safeguard the sea routes from pirat.
