INS Tabar sinks pirate ship in Gulf of Aden
A week after saving two merchant vessels from sea pirates, the Indian Navy has sunk a pirate 'mother ship' during a fierce battle in the Gulf of Aden near the Horn of Africa.
Indian Navy spokesperson said its stealth frigate INS Tabar, currently deployed in the Gulf of Aden for anti-piracy surveillance and patrol operations, had successfully sorted out the pirates last evening 285 nautical miles south west of Salalah in Oman.
Giving details of the operation, the spokesperson said the frigate encountered the pirate vessel with two speed boats in tow.
"This vessel was similar in description to the 'Mother Vessel' mentioned in various piracy bulletins. INS Tabar closed in on the vessel and asked her to stop for investigation," he said.
