The Indian Navy successfully thwarted a piracy attempt near the East coast of Somalia, rescuing Iranian and Pakistani nationals from captivity. The vessel, FV Omari, was boarded by seven pirates who had taken the crew as hostages. This marks the third successful anti-piracy operation by the Indian Navy in the region within a week, with a total of 19 crew members rescued from hijacked vessels. The operation involved the Indian Naval RPA undertaking surveillance and the INS Sharada being diverted to intercept the vessel. The piracy attempt was monitored on January 31, 2024.
