The Indian Navy's P-8I maritime surveillance aircraft has successfully established connection with the distressed ship MV Chem Pluto that caught fire off India's West Coast in the Arabian sea. The ship caught, with 20 Indians onboard, was hit by a suspected drone strike. The Indian Navy warship is reportedly moving towards the distressed merchant vessel and is expected to reach the merchant ship in the next few hours. The incident comes days after the Indian Navy evacuated a sailor from a Malta-flagged cargo vessel hijacked by six "pirates". #IsraelVesselAttack #IndianCoastGuard #DroneStrikesShip #ICGSVikram #IndianNavy #P8I #IndianOceanIncident #DroneStrike #MaritimeSecurity #MiddleEastTensions #MerchantShipAttack #GlobalShippingAlert #NavalSecurity #InternationalRelations #GeopoliticalTensions #IsraelSecurity #MaritimeSafety #DronesInConflict #IndianOceanIncident #SecurityThreat #RegionalInstability #ShippingSafety #VesselSecurity #DroneAttackAlert #GlobalMaritimeConcerns ~HT.97~PR.152~ED.194~
