NEW DELHI: India will track down those behind attacks on Merchant Navy ships, ‘even from the depths of the sea,’ and take action against them, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh said during the commissioning of INS Imphal on December 26.
“The Government has taken the drone attack on MV Chem Pluto in the Arabian Sea, and on MV Sai Baba in the Red Sea, very seriously,” he said.| ”The Navy has increased surveillance… whoever carried out this attack, we will find them even from the seabed. Those behind it will be brought to justice.”
“India is the net security provider (for) the entire Indian Ocean region”, he said, stressing that the Government will work with friendly nations and ensure the safety of maritime trade in the region.
The comment came after the Navy confirmed MV Chem Pluto was attacked by a drone two days ago.
A Pentagon spokesperson the ship was hit by a one-way attack drone fired from Iran.
