On Friday, the Indian Navy thwarted a hijacking endeavour on a Liberia-flagged ship, MV Lila Norfolk, in the North Arabian Sea. Aboard were 21 crew members, including 15 Indians. Marine commandos conducted sanitization operations, ensuring the safe evacuation of crew members sheltered in the vessel’s citadel, a designated secure area during hijack situations, as depicted in an Indian Navy video.
