INS Trikand blaze

The Indian Navy's warship INS Trikand, deployed in the Gulf of Aden for maritime security operations, carried out a rescue and firefighting mission after a massive fire broke out on board the Cameroon-flagged LPG carrier MV Falcon off the coast of Djibouti, Indian Navy's spokesperson said on Wednesday, October 22.

According to the Navy, the ship's crew swiftly responded to a distress call, coordinating with a civil tug hired by the shipping company to bring the blaze under control. Also Read | Palisades fire: Uber driver Jonathan Rinderknecht arrested for blaze that killed 12, destroyed 6,000 homes
