Indian Navy Rescues 19 Pak Sailors

Commandos from the Indian Navy's patrol vessel INS Sumitra rescued 19 Pakistani sailors after pirates hijacked their fishing vessel off the east coast of Somalia on Monday. This was the second anti-piracy operation carried out by the warship within 36 hours, the Indian Navy said. There has now been a third rescue as well. The Indian Navy has helped in rescuing a Sri Lankan fishing trawler from pirates off the Somalian coast, thwarting a third hijacking attempt in the last three days. The vessel was finally intercepted in Seychelles by their coast guard with the help of inputs from the Indian Navy.
