Pakistan Navy Rescues 23 Iranian Fishermen in Gulf of Aden
Pakistan Navy ship PNS Zulfiqar successfully rescued 23 Iranian fishermen in the Gulf of Aden near Yemen, demonstrating its commitment to maritime security and humanitarian relief.
The rescue operation was initiated after PNS Zulfikar received an emergency call for help from the Iranian fishing boat ‘Al Mohammadi’ during a regional maritime security patrol.
The Iranian boat reported a crew member with a serious hand injury sustained during repair work, as well as engine failure, leaving them stranded 1,200 nautical miles from their port.
In response, the Pakistan Navy provided medical examination and treatment to the injured crew member and two other individuals on board. Additionally, Navy personnel worked to repair the fishermen’s boat engine, ensuring their safe return to port.
This rescue operation highlights the Pakistan Navy’s dedication to the safety and security of ships at sea, particularly during humanitarian relief operations.
The Pakistan Navy regularly conducts Regional Maritime Security Patrols to protect maritime interests and provide assistance to those in need.
