MV Ruen, hijacked by Somali pirates in December, was rescued by India's marine commandos in an anti-piracy mission.
The Indian Navy thwarted plans by Somali pirates to hijack commercial vessels by rescuing MV Ruen in a 40-hour-long anti-piracy mission.'#INSKolkata, in the last 40 hours, through concerted actions successfully cornered and coerced all 35 Pirates to surrender & ensured safe evacuation of 17 crew members in the evening today #16Mar 24 from the pirate vessel without any injury,' the Indian Navy said on X, formerly Twitter, on Saturday.
The Houthis have declared their intention to blockade all shipments bound for Israel, in solidarity with Hamas fighters in the Gaza Strip, leading to attacks on cargo vessels linked to Israel, the United States, and their allies. In response, the Indian Navy has bolstered its presence in the Red Sea to counter these assaults and ensure the safety of vital shipping lanes.The latest rescue mission is the second anti-piracy mission by the Indian Navy this year.
