Navy, Marcos secure crew after piracy bid on India-bound ship in Gulf of Aen

Indian Navy warship INS Trikand thwarted a piracy attempt on an India-bound merchant vessel, MV Golden Arsenal, in the Gulf of Aden. The ship, en route to Tamil Nadu's V O Chidambaranar Port, reported damage to its bridge and surrounding areas during the attack. Navy commandos, known as Marcos, boarded the vessel and secured it, ensuring the safety of the crew, including one Indian national. The operation involved aerial support from a P-8I maritime patrol aircraft. This follows several similar incidents where Indian naval forces have successfully intercepted potential piracy threats in the Indian Ocean region.
