In a series of anti-piracy operations, the Indian Navy, along with the Seychelles Defence Forces and the Sri Lanka Navy, successfully rescued two hijacked vessels off the coast of Somalia from Somali pirates. The first operation involved the rescue of six Sri Lankan fishermen by the Seychelles' defense forces and coast guard, as announced by the Seychelles president's office. The second operation, led by the Indian Navy, thwarted a piracy attempt off the east coast of Somalia and rescued 19 Pakistani crew members held hostage aboard a fishing vessel. The Indian Navy's warship INS Sumitra was instrumental in intercepting the distressed vessel and saving the hostages. These operations underscore India's commitment to maritime security in the Indian Ocean Region, in line with Prime Minister Modi's vision of SAGAR (Security and Growth for All in the Region). External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar highlighted India's capability and interest in assisting in such difficult situations, with the Indian Navy deploying 10 ships in the Red Sea region to provide security against pirates and to ensure the safety of mariners.
