Pakistan’s Navy launches a rescue and support operation after a distress call for an Indian vessel stranded in the Arabian Sea. Multiple reports say the operation begins following coordination between India’s Maritime Rescue and Coordination Centre in Mumbai and authorities in Islamabad. The reports identify the vessel as MV Gautam and describe that it suffers a technical failure. The stranded crew includes six Indians and one Indonesian. Pakistani officials provide immediate assistance that includes food, medical support, and technical help, according to reports citing security sources and media accounts. One report says Pakistan Maritime Security Agency personnel assist alongside the Navy, indicating involvement of additional maritime security units. The information available across the outlets focuses on the response measures and the number of crew supported, rather than on further details such as the vessel’s exact location, the severity of the incident, or the final status of the ship after the assistance. The reports collectively portray the incident as a coordinated maritime rescue and support effort led by Pakistan’s naval and maritime agencies after an SOS message.
