The Indian Navy is deploying units in strategic waters such as Djibouti, the Gulf of Aden, the East Coast of Somalia, and the North and Central Arabian Sea to protect merchant vessels due to the regional maritime security situation. This move follows concerns over attacks on merchant ships in the Red Sea by Iran-backed Houthi militants. The Indian Navy has been actively engaged in anti-piracy patrols since 2008 and has safely escorted over 3,440 ships and 25,000 seafarers during this period. Additionally, the Navy is sharing information with friendly foreign countries to identify the sources and players involved in recent attacks.
