The Pakistani Navy responded to a distress call and helped in the rescue of Indian sailors after their commercial sailing vessel capsized.
The distress call from the Jamna Sagar was received on August 9 and a Pakistan Navy ship along with two helicopters rushed to the area.
In addition, the Pakistan Maritime Information Centre requested the assistance of a nearby merchant ship. The tanker MT Kruibeke assisted in rescuing nine of the 10 crewmembers that were missing after the vessel went down.
The Pakistani forces continued the search finding the wreckage of the vessel and later the body of the missing Indian seafarer.
The nine recused crewmembers were taken to Dubai aboard the tanker while the body of the deceased sailor was brought to shore and handed over to the PMSA to be repatriated.
