Two Indian naval ships were deployed for maritime security operations and diverted to intercept a hijacked fishing vessel, reportedly boarded by 9 armed pirates. The operation led to the interception of the Iranian vessel, with the Indian Navy successfully forcing the surrender of the pirates. Following the operation, 9 surrendered pirates are being brought to India for further legal action. The Indian Navy's specialist teams completed sanitization and seaworthiness checks of the vessel, FV Al-Kambar, which had a crew comprising 23 Pakistani nationals. The crew received a thorough medical checkup before the boat was cleared to continue.
