IndiaTimes Tuesday, 26 December 2023
On-site analysis and forensics suggest that MV Chem Pluto was attacked by a drone in the Arabian Sea near India's coast. The explosive charge on the drone caused extensive damage above the waterline. Remnants of projectiles have been collected for forensic analysis. The Chief of Naval Staff has been briefed on the initial analysis by the probe team. Earlier in the day, defence minister Rajnath Singh vowed to ferret out the perpetrators of the attacks on merchant navy ships even from the "depths of the seas" and take tough action against them.

India brings 35 Somali pirates to Mumbai to face trial over hijacking of bulk cargo ship | Oneindia

In a decisive move, India has transported 35 captured Somali pirates to Mumbai to face trial, following a daring rescue operation by its navy. The INS Kolkata, spearheading the mission, arrived in the financial hub on Saturday, bringing an end to the harrowing ordeal that began with the hijacking of the Maltese-flagged MV Ruen. The hijacking, which occurred east of Socotra in the northern Arabian Sea in December, marked a concerning resurgence of Somali piracy, being the first successful boarding of a cargo vessel since 2017. India's swift and resolute response not only led to the recapture of the hijacked bulk carrier but also ensured the safe rescue of several hostages. #India #SomaliPirates #MumbaiTrial #MV_RuenHijack #PiracyTrial #NavalRescue #MaritimeSecurity #IndianNavy #AntiPiracyEfforts #LegalJustice #PiracyProsecution #HijackingIncident #InternationalLaw #LegalProceedings #CriminalJustice #NavalIntervention #SomaliPirateTrial #MaritimeSafety #PiracyIncident #LegalAction #CriminalTrials #NauticalJustice #IndianCourts #NavalOperations ~PR.152~ED.103~
