Indian Navy Warship Rescues Hijacked Bangladeshi Ship from Somali Pirates
TL;DR
The Indian Navy responded to an SOS from the Bangladesh-flagged bulk carrier MV Abdullah, which was seized by Somali pirates off the coast of Somalia. The navy deployed a warship to intercept the hijacked vessel and ensure the safety of its 23-member Bangladeshi crew, who were held hostage. The incident has raised concerns about a resurgence of piracy in the Indian Ocean, compounded by a surge in attacks by Yemen's Houthi rebels in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden.
