The Coast Guard has deployed
four offshore patrol vessels equipped with advanced helicopters to carry out
extended surveillance operations along the Indian maritime boundary in the
Arabian Sea.
Indian Navy has deployed three warships in the Arabian Sea . The Navy deployed P-8I long-range patrol aircraft
for surveillance, and warships INS Mormugao, INS Kochi, and INS Kolkata in the
region to maintain a "deterrent presence".
The deployment follows a recent attack on the
commercial ship MV Chem Pluto in the Arabian Sea on Saturday 23 Dec.
The Coast Guard patrol
vessels are sweeping the Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) in the Arabian Sea where
the attack took place and are keeping a check on any suspicious activity there,
defense officials said. The sorties by
the Coast Guard 's Dornier Maritime Surveillance Aircraft have also increased
by more than 50 per cent to monitor the area and provide immediate assistance
in case of any requirement, officials said.
The chemical tanker MV Chem
Pluto was struck by a drone off India's west coast on Saturday, amid
increasing concerns over various commercial vessels being targeted by
Iran-backed Houthi militants in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden amid the
Israel-Hamas conflict. But the origin of
the strike on MV Chem Pluto and the amount of explosive used are yet to be
identified. However, a Pentagon spokesperson said that the vessel was hit
by "a one-way attack drone fired from Iran".
Meanwhile, Defense Minister Rajnath Singh has vowed to
ferret out the perpetrators of the attacks, even from the "depths of the
seas".
