According to the report, the Somali pirates gave up in a calm manner, and when the ship was inspected and taken to safety, the crew was allowed to carry on as usual.
Navy crews thoroughly inspected the vessel following the rescue before taking it to a secure location.
Last month, Pakistan’s Navy and Maritime Security Agency rescued nine Indian citizens who were stranded in the Arabian Sea.
After learning about the stranded Indian boat, Pakistani forces sent out long-range marine patrol aircraft and the PMSS Kashmir multipurpose vessel for a search and rescue mission. The Indian citizens were eventually recovered after a 24-hour wait.
