The Indian Navy has been actively engaged in anti-piracy, anti-drone, and anti-missile operations in the Arabian Sea, Gulf of Aden, and Red Sea, responding to the increased threat of piracy and attacks in these regions. Over the past 100 days, under Operation Sankalp and other missions, the Navy has saved 110 lives, including 45 Indians, 27 Pakistanis, 30 Iranians, and other international citizens, and responded to 13 attack incidents. A significant operation involved the capture of 35 Somali pirates from the MV Ruen, who will be prosecuted in India, potentially facing death penalty or life imprisonment under India's anti-piracy laws. The Navy has deployed 10 warships, P-8I surveillance aircraft, Sea guardian drones, and other assets to enhance maritime security and protect Indian and international cargo traffic. Admiral R Hari Kumar highlighted the Navy's efforts to ensure the safety of the Indian Ocean Region and mentioned the use of drones for monitoring ships and the Maritime Piracy Act 2022 as key enablers in their operations.
