"Indian Navy's Strategic Rescue: Thwarting Hijack and Safeguarding Crew in Red Sea Turmoil"

The Indian Navy's guided missile destroyer INS Chennai successfully intercepted and rescued the crew of the hijacked ship MV Lila Norfolk in the Gulf of Aden. This operation was part of a strategic deployment by the Indian Navy under Operation Sankalp, aimed at protecting commercial shipping lanes from piracy and other maritime threats. The Navy's proactive positioning of warships, including INS Kochi and INS Kolkata, along with surveillance assets like the Boeing P 8 I and Predator drones, has enhanced maritime security in the region. The recent rescue underscores India's commitment to maintaining safe sea lanes and combating piracy, particularly in light of the escalating Israel-Hamas conflict and threats from the Houthi militia.

The Indian Navy successfully rescued 21 crew members, including 15 Indians, from the Liberian-flagged merchant vessel MV Lila Norfolk after an attempted hijack in the Arabian Sea. The crew had sent a distress call, reporting the boarding of armed personnel, which led to the deployment of the warship INS Chennai and a naval aircraft to intercept the vessel. No pirates were found on board during the "sanitisation" operations. This incident comes amid a recent increase in piracy attacks in the region, prompting heightened surveillance by the Indian Navy.

"Indian Navy Ramps Up Arabian Sea Patrols in Response to Rising Ship Attacks and Drone Threats"

The Indian Navy has ramped up maritime surveillance and deployed task groups in response to a surge in attacks on commercial ships by Iran-backed Houthi rebels, including recent drone strikes on India-bound vessels. The heightened security measures follow attacks in the Red Sea, where the US Navy intercepted missile attacks from Houthi boats targeting commercial shipping and US helicopters. Major shipping companies are diverting from the Suez Canal route due to these disruptions, opting for the longer journey around Africa's Cape of Good Hope. The Indian Navy has deployed several destroyers and frigates, including INS Kolkata and INS Kochi, to ensure the safety of merchant vessels and maintain the flow of global trade.

"Indian Navy Ramps Up Arabian Sea Patrols in Response to Rising Ship Attacks"

The Indian Navy has ramped up its maritime surveillance and security operations in the Arabian Sea due to a rise in attacks on merchant vessels, including suspected drone strikes. Task groups with destroyers and frigates are deployed for maritime security and assistance, with enhanced aerial surveillance by patrol aircraft and RPAs. The Navy is coordinating with the Indian Coast Guard to ensure complete maritime domain awareness and protect the Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ). Recent incidents, such as the attacks on MV Chem Pluto and MV Ruen, have brought attention to the increasing maritime threats closer to India's EEZ. The US has accused Iran of a drone attack on a vessel, which Iran denies, while the Indian Navy remains committed to safeguarding merchant shipping in the region.
