In a swift action to combat the distressed call of a merchant vessel, Indian Navy Marine Commandos have launched a major operation to rescue crew members on board a merchant vessel MV Ruen from pirates, Indian Navy officials said on Saturday.

This comes after the onboard crew shared information of the presence of a large number of pirates on the vessel, to which the Indian Navy responded with the launch of an operation to rescue them.

According to the Indian Navy, the Marine Commandos have established communication with pirates and warned them to surrender.
