The Pakistan Navy has deployed ships in the Arabian Sea \u201cin wake of recent maritime security incidents\u201d, Radio Pakistan<\/a><\/em> reported on Sunday.<\/p>\n

The state broadcaster quoted a statement from the Pakistan Navy spokesperson as saying that ships were continuously patrolling the Arabian Sea to ensure safety of Pakistan\u2019s trade routes.<\/p>\n

He said continuous aerial surveillance of commercial passages was also being carried out to ensure the safety of Pakistan and international merchant ships.<\/p>\n

The spokesperson categorically stated that the Pakistan Navy was well aware of its national responsibility to maintain maritime peace and order in the region, the report added.<\/p>\n

The Pakistan Navy statement comes days after the Indian navy rescued<\/a> 21 crew members from a vessel in the Arabian Sea after a hijacking distress call, in what was the latest attack on commercial shipping in the region.<\/p>\n

The move came after many vessels were rerouted from the Red Sea due to drone and missile attacks<\/a> claimed by Yemen\u2019s Houthis \u201cin solidarity with Palestinians in Gaza\u201d.<\/p>\n

On Friday, an Indian navy statement said 21 crew members, including 15 Indian nationals, aboard the MV Lila Norfolk, had been evacuated from the ship\u2019s citadel \u2014 a fortified section of commercial vessels used as a refuge during pirate attacks.<\/p>\n

The 84,000-tonne bulk carrier had been boarded by five or six \u201cunknown armed personnel\u201d on Thursday evening, but the attempted hijacking was \u201cprobably abandoned\u201d after a forceful warning by the Indian Navy, the statement added.<\/p>\n

The hijacking and attempted hijacking of commercial ships in the Gulf of Aden and Arabian Sea resumed in December after a six-year lull. Experts believe pirates have been encouraged by US-led anti-piracy naval forces diverting their attention to the neighbouring Red Sea to thwart attacks there by Houthi rebels.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
