The Indian Navy says it responded to a Houthi attack on a vessel, adding that 21 people were rescued. According to a statement by the navy, Barbados-flagged Bulk Carrier MV True Confidence was “hit by a drone/missile” in the southwest of Aden on Wednesday, resulting in a fire on board and critical injuries to some of the crew members, forcing the crew to abandon the ship. Three crew members were killed and four wounded. “INS [Indian Navy Ship] Kolkata, deployed for maritime security operations arrived at the scene of action and rescued 21 crew members, including one Indian national, from the life raft using its integral helicopter and boats,” the navy said.
