Indian warship responds to Mayday call by missile-hit vessel in Gulf of Aden
Iranian-backed Houthi rebels fired an anti-ship missile from Houthi-controlled territory in Yemen on Friday, hitting the Marine oil tanker Luanda. India's missile attack on INS Visakhapatnam on Saturday was in response to pressure on the merchant ship, which came under fire following a missile attack by Iran-backed Houthi rebels in the Gulf of Aden. Officials familiar with the problem said the road is one of the busiest in the world. Marshall Islands-flagged oil tanker MV Marlin Luanda was attacked by Houthi rebels on Friday, officials said; This was the latest attack on the shipping industry in the region, which includes the area between the Red Sea and the Arabian Sea. It is operated by UK-based Oceanix Services. At the request of
"Marin Luanda", Visakhapatnam dispatched the NBCD (Nuclear Biological and Chemical Defense and Damage Control) team and firefighting equipment to provide assistance to the crew in support of firefighting of MV problems. He said in a statement on Saturday. The boat's crew included 22 Indians and one Bangladeshi. The Navy said the ship sent out a distress call Friday night.
