Indian Navy has launched maritime security operations in the Arabian Sea following the attack on the merchant ship MV Chem Pluto. After the statement of Defense Minister Rajnath Singh, the Navy gave information about the maritime security operation. Earlier Rajnath Singh had said that whoever carried out these attacks, we will find them, even if they are hidden in the seabed.

Chief of Naval Staff Admiral Radhakrishnan Hari Kumar said India has made several preparations to counter piracy and drone attacks on merchant ships. Four newest warships have been deployed. Apart from these, PI aircraft, Dorniers, sea guardians, helicopters and Indian Coast Guard ships are also participating in countering these threats.

It is noteworthy that the commercial ship MV Chem reached Mumbai on December 25 on Pluto. He is standing anchored in the sea. There are 21 Indians and one Vietnamese crew member present in it.

The Ordnance Disposal Team of the Indian Navy said in the initial investigation that this was not an attack by any small drone. It is like a big drone or missile attack. The drone attack on a merchant ship in the Arabian Sea is being investigated.

The pieces of the drone and the pieces of the ship are being investigated. Many agencies are working on this matter. The Navy's Explosive Ordnance Team has also been added to this. Currently, many agencies are going to investigate this attack. Later its goods will be transferred to another ship.
