MV Marlin Launda catches fire after a missile strike in the Gulf of Aden<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

New Delhi: <\/b><\/p>\n

A guided-missile destroyer of the Indian Navy has responded to an SOS call by a merchant ship struck by a missile in the Gulf of Aden, the navy said in a statement today.<\/p>\n

There are 22 Indian and a Bangladeshi crew on board.<\/p>\n

INS Visakhapatnam took the distress call of the merchant vessel Marlin Launda after it reported a missile hit. The vessel caught fire.<\/p>\n

The Indian Navy said INS Visakhapatnam is helping with firefighting on the cargo ship.<\/p>\n

“Indian Navy remains steadfast and committed towards safeguarding merchant vessels and ensuring safety of life at sea,” the navy said in the statement.<\/p>\n

The missile strike comes amid growing concerns over Houthi militants stepping up attacks on merchant vessels in the Red Sea amid the Israel-Hamas conflict. Admiral R Hari Kumar issued instructions to firmly deal with such maritime incidents.<\/p>\n

On January 18, a merchant vessel with Indian crew members came under attack by drones in the Gulf of Aden. After receiving a distress call, India deployed INS Visakhapatnam, which intercepted the vessel and gave assistance.<\/p>\n

Liberian-flagged MV Chem Pluto, with 21 Indian crew members, was the target of a drone attack off India’s west coast on December 23.<\/p>\n

Besides MV Chem Pluto, another commercial oil tanker that was heading to India came under a suspected drone strike in the Southern Red Sea on the same day. The vessel had a team of 25 Indian crew.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
