India positions a dozen warships in the Red Sea's eastern region, increasing surveillance amid piracy resurgence. While not part of the U.S.-led task force, India conducts its largest deployment in the area, inspecting over 250 vessels in the last two months. With piracy incidents rising, the move aims to secure crucial shipping routes. Foreign Minister Jaishankar emphasizes India's responsibility in challenging situations, signaling its growing maritime capability and regional commitment. The deployment also addresses challenges beyond piracy, including Houthi attacks and regional security concerns.
