The Indian Navy helped rescue a Panama-flagged oil tanker that was hit by a missile by Houthi militants. There are a total of 30 crew members on the ship, 22 of whom are Indian.


Indian Navy destroyer INS Cochin responded to the attack on MV Andromeda Star on April 26, officials said. Iran-backed Houthi rebels fired three cruise missiles from Yemen near the merchant ship Maisha and MV Andromeda Star in the Red Sea, US Central Command said.

MV Andromeda Star is a Panama-flagged ship operating from the Seychelles Islands.


Minor damage to the ship was reported.


"Indian Navy's destroyer INS Kochi was deployed in response to a maritime security incident involving the attack on the Panama-flagged oil tanker MV Andromeda Star on 26 April," the Indian Navy said. Reports said the ship was intercepted by an Indian Navy ship and a search aircraft was launched to assess the situation.


The US Navy said in a statement that it also sent the Navy Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) team to conduct a "residual risk assessment".


"A total of 30 crew members, including 22 Indians, have been declared safe and the ship is proceeding to its next port as planned," he said.
