What Crew Members Say About Jag-Amar

In a dramatic turn of events on October 6, 2023, a pirate attack targeting the bulk carrier 'Jag Amar' was successfully thwarted in the Gulf of Aden. Reports indicate that a group of 12 pirates attempted to hijack the vessel as it navigated off the coast of Oman while making its way from Constanta to Jubail. The situation escalated quickly, prompting the Indian Navy frigate INS 'Trishul' to spring into action. Responding to an alert received at 12:30 a.m., the naval ship intervened just in time to prevent the attack. During the operation, INS 'Trishul' seized an AK-47 along with a magazine containing 27 rounds, as well as grapnels, ropes, fuel drums, and ladders from the would-be assailants, showcasing the effectiveness of naval patrols in combatting piracy in this vital maritime corridor.
