“Responding swiftly to an alert of a medical emergency by Iranian Fishing Vessel FV Al Arifi, INS Shivalik Mission Deployed in the GulfofAden, rendered medical assistance incl critical medical supplies to the 18 Pakistani crew onboard,” the Navy had said.
Meanwhile, in another operation in February, Indian Navy had posted on X (formerly Twitter), “Indian Navy provides critical repair assistance & medical aid to Iranian Fishing vessels (FV). FV Ameen (six Iranian crew), operating East of Duqm, had sustained damages, allegedly due to a collision with a Merchant vessel. This had resulted in a hull breach leading to water ingress.”
