Rescue done from INS Sumitra
Taking immediate action in less than 36 hours, INS Sumitra has rescued hijacked ships in the Southern Arabian Sea. The Navy said in the statement that in such cases the pirates are usually disarmed, so that they do not pose any threat to other ships. On behalf of the Navy, it was said that currently INS Sumitra has been deployed in the eastern coast of Somalia and Gulf of Aden for anti-piracy operations.
Piracy increases off Somali coast
According to the report of Hindustan Times, new challenges have arisen in the Arabian Sea in the last few months. Piracy has increased again in the Gulf of Aden and the Somali coast. However, in view of the increasing threats here, the Navy has increased surveillance in the Arabian Sea. Pirate attacks in the region peaked between 2008 and 2013, but have declined due to the efforts of the Multinational Maritime Task Force in the region.
