India rushes warship to the Gulf of Aden
India on Saturday rushed its front line warship to the Gulf of Aden to protect Indian merchant vessels sailing in the high seas off the east African coast from armed pirates.
An Indian warship has been deployed in the Gulf of Aden for the first time to conduct anti-piracy patrols along the route Indian merchant vessels normally take during their passage between Salalah in Oman and Aden, it was announced Thursday.
