At least 23 Pakistani nationals were rescued from the clutches of Somali pirates during a daring 12-hour-long operation in the Arabian Sea. The dramatic rescue unfolded in the early hours of March 29, 2024, when the IN-warship intercepted the hijacked vessel, FV Al-Kambar. Acting swiftly, INS Sumedha was soon joined by the guided missile frigate INSTrishul to bolster the operation.
