Somali pirates have once again surrendered before the Indian Navy.
The Navy has forced 35 pirates who hijacked a merchant ship 1,400 nautical miles off the Indian coast to surrender. Not only this, the Indian Navy has also saved 17 crew members present on this ship by conducting a rescue operation.
In this operation, the Indian Navy had deployed its P-8 spy aircraft, Markana warships INS Kolkata and INS Subhadra and drones. Marcos commandos were also deployed for the operation. This operation lasted for about 40 hours. Meanwhile, the hijacked ship MV Rouen was being continuously monitored.
The ship was hijacked on March 14 and posed a threat to other merchant vessels operating in the area. On March 15, when the Navy stopped the ship, the pirates started firing. In response, Marcos sent commandos to the hijacked ship.
After this the pirates surrendered. A team of commandos searched the ship to find out whether arms and ammunition were hidden.
The Navy said in a statement that we are committed to maritime security and the safety of merchant ships. The crew members of this ship include people from Angola, Bulgaria and Myanmar.
In the last few weeks, the Indian Navy has created a prominent image globally by providing assistance to hundreds of merchant ships in some way or the other.
