Navy foils piracy bid in Gulf of Aden on cargo ship carrying critical consignment for India

Indian Navy warship INS Trikand successfully thwarted a piracy attempt on merchant vessel MV Golden Arsenal in the Gulf of Aden. Responding swiftly to a distress call, the warship’s presence caused suspected pirates to flee before they could board. Indian Marine Commandos later secured the vessel, which was carrying vital cargo for India. No crew injuries were reported.
