The Indian Navy has sent its warships to protect Indian-flagged merchant ships traveling through the Persian Gulf. This step was taken to ensure the safety of ships in a region that is considered risky for commercial travel.
According to officials, three Indian Navy warships escorted merchant vessels named Shivalik, Nanda Devi, and Jag Laadki. These ships were given protection after they crossed the Strait of Hormuz, which is one of the busiest and most sensitive sea routes in the world.
The warships stayed close to the merchant vessels and ensured they could travel safely without any threat. The area has seen tensions and security concerns in the past, including attacks on ships, which is why extra protection is needed.
The escort operation continued through the Gulf of Oman, where the Navy closely monitored the situation. The mission was completed successfully, and all the ships reached safer waters without any problems.
Officials said this action shows India’s strong commitment to protecting its trade routes and ships. The Indian Navy remains alert in the region and is ready to act quickly if any danger arises, ensuring the safety of Indian vessels and crew members at all times.
