The Indian Navy continues to carry out operations so that all countries can move safely in the sea. Through ‘Operation Sankalp’, the Indian Navy has thwarted the piracy plans many times. This time a similar case has come to light again.
An Iranian fishing vessel was hijacked by pirates. The Indian Navy received emergency calls in this regard. In this regard, the Indian Navy took immediate action and launched an operation in the Arabian Sea to save the Iranian ship. At the end of hours of hard work, the Indian Navy not only freed the Iranian ship from the clutches of pirates but also saved 23 Pakistani crew members.
According to the information, Iran’s AL-Cumber 786 ship had gone fishing in the Arabian Sea. Among its crew were 23 Pakistani nationals. Then suddenly the pirates attacked and hijacked the ship. The Command of the Indian Navy has received information in this regard. Subsequently, efforts to free the hijacked ship intensified.
The role of the patrol ship INS Sumedha was very important in this operation. The hijacked Iranian ship was caught with the help of INS Sumedha. The ship was about 167 km from the seashore. The role of guided missile frigate INS Trishul was also important in freeing Al-Cumber from the clutches of pirates.
After the location of the Iranian ship was determined, a campaign was launched to free it safely. The tussle between the Indian Navy and piracy continued for nearly 12 hours. In the end, the brave soldiers of the Indian Navy forced the robbers to surrender.
The Iranian ship al-Cambar was then released into a safe place with Escort. According to Indian Navy officials, the incident took place on Thursday. All the 23 Pakistani nationals are currently safe. It is worth mentioning that ships from various neighbouring countries often come to the region for fishing.
Piracy menace has increased in the Gulf of Aden and the Indian Ocean region in the last few months. As a result, international maritime trade has been badly affected. Somalia pirates and Houthi rebels have blocked the Suez Canal. Maritime trade has been adversely affected due to the series of attacks, so the supply of many ships has also been disrupted.
In view of this, the Indian Navy has started operations resolutions in the Gulf of Aden, the Arabian Sea and the Indian Ocean. The aim is to protect the sea route from pirates and invaders. Just a few days ago, the Indian Navy handed over 35 Somalian pirates to the Mumbai Police.
Even after this, Pakistan will never have a good attitude towards India. Pakistan has been pressurising Pakistan especially to suppress terrorists but India has not yielded any results. At a time when the US and UK are launching operations against the Houthi rebels, the Indian Navy has started operation resolutions to prevent the increase in the number of pirates in the Arabian Sea.
If we look at the past, the Indian Navy has saved an American cargo ship from pirates. On the other hand, the crew member of a ship from India a few months ago was rescued from the pirates by the Navy. The escalation of terrorism along the sea route due to the Israel-Hamas war has disrupted the trade sector.
