Navy: Warship INS Kochi 'constantly monitoring' hijacked Malta vessel

IndiaTimes Sunday, 17 December 2023
The hijacked Malta-flagged MV Ruen is reaching the coast of Somalia, with armed pirates on board. Indian warship INS Kochi is monitoring the situation, avoiding direct intervention to prevent loss of lives. Owners usually negotiate and pay ransom in such hijacked ship situations. The Indian Navy responded to the mayday call from MV Ruen, which is managed by a Bulgarian company. This is the first major hijacking incident in the last few years after anti-piracy efforts in the Gulf of Aden and Indian Ocean Region.

In a decisive move, India has transported 35 captured Somali pirates to Mumbai to face trial, following a daring rescue operation by its navy.
