NEW DELHI, Nov 3 — Indian naval commandos parachuted onto a hijacked Iranian fishing vessel off Somalia to rescue all 20 crew members from armed pirates, the navy said Tuesday.
Somali piracy has seen a resurgence, with at least 15 attacks reported since April, the highest number since 2013.
The vessel, named Azini, was seized on October 29 off the Somali coast, between the coastal towns of Bandar Beyla and Xaafun in the semi-autonomous region of Puntland, according to an alert from the EU’s Maritime Security Centre Indian Ocean (MSCIO).
The vessel was feared to be used as a “mother ship” to launch further attacks on merchant shipping, the navy said in a statement.
A warship and a maritime reconnaissance aircraft tracked the vessel before marine commandos were parachuted in to carry out the rescue, it said.
“The Indian Navy secured the vessel, overcame the pirate threat and ensured safe release of all 20 crew members,” the statement added.
Azini was the third Iranian fishing boat to have been hijacked off the Somali coast since July. — AFP

新德里，11月3日——印度海军周二表示，印度海军突击队员空降到一艘在索马里附近被劫持的伊朗渔船上，从武装海盗手中救出了全部20名船员。
索马里海盗活动死灰复燃，自 4 月以来至少报告了 15 起袭击事件，是 2013 年以来的最高数字。
据欧盟印度洋海事安全中心 (MSCIO) 发布的警报，这艘名为“阿齐尼”号的船只于 10 月 29 日在索马里海岸附近被扣押，位于半自治的邦特兰地区的班达尔贝拉和哈丰两座沿海城镇之间。
海军在一份声明中表示，人们担心这艘船会被用作“母舰”，对商船发动进一步袭击。
报道称，一艘军舰和一架海上侦察机追踪了这艘船，之后海军陆战队突击队员空降到船上进行救援。
声明还补充说：“印度海军控制了这艘船，克服了海盗威胁，并确保了所有 20 名船员安全获释。”
