Indian Navy's Successful Rescue Operations Against Somali Pirates

The Indian Navy has rescued 19 Pakistani nationals from Somali pirates who had hijacked their fishing vessel off the east coast of Somalia, marking the second rescue operation in 36 hours. The warship INS Sumitra also freed 17 Iranian nationals from another hijacked fishing vessel. India has deployed more warships in the region to counter rebel attacks on commercial vessels amid tensions between Houthi groups, but has not joined American and British warships in counter-attacks.
