Indian Navy's Successful Operations Against Somali Pirates

The Indian navy successfully captured a hijacked bulk carrier off the coast of Somalia, rescuing the crew and ending a three-month hijacking. The Maltese-flagged MV Ruen was hijacked by Somali pirates in December near the Yemeni island of Socotra. The navy urged the pirates to surrender and release the vessel and any civilians they may be holding after the pirates opened fire on an Indian navy ship. The reemergence of Somali piracy comes as Iran-backed Houthi rebels from Yemen target commercial ships in the Red Sea, disrupting traffic headed for the Suez Canal.

India has deployed warships to provide security against pirates and investigated over 250 vessels.
