In a swift operation, the Indian Navy's INS Kochi rescued 30 crew members, including 22 Indians, aboard the Panama-flagged crude oil tanker MV Andromeda Star. The vessel came under attack from Iranian-backed Houthi militants in the Red Sea. Following the April 26 incident, the Navy deployed an Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) team to assess residual risks. Despite minor damage, all crew members are reported safe as the vessel continues its journey. This rescue underscores the Indian Navy's commitment to maritime security amidst escalating tensions in the region.
