An Indian Navy warship deployed in the central Arabian Sea provided critical medical assistance to a Pakistani crew member aboard a fishing vessel near the Oman coast.
The stealth frigate INS Trikand, deployed on a mission, received a distress message on April 4, 2025, from the Iranian fishing boat Al Omidi, operating approximately 350 nautical miles east of the Oman coast. The warship promptly responded to the call.
INS Trikand immediately altered its course to provide medical aid to the injured crew member.
The crew of the vessel FV Abdul Rahman Hanjia included 11 Pakistanis—nine from Balochistan and two from Sindh province—along with five Iranian personnel.
