Pakistan Navy responded to a distress call from an Indian vessel stranded in the Arabian Sea after a critical technical failure, Pakistan's military said on Tuesday.
The vessel, named MV Gautam, was carrying seven crew members - six Indians and one Indonesian - and had suffered a critical technical failure while en route from Oman to India, leaving it stranded at sea, the Pakistani military said in a statement.
Pakistan Navy dispatched a ship named Kashmir, which provided food, medical assistance and technical support to stabilise the vessel and ensure the crew's safety, the statement said.
Last month Pakistan said its navy had rescued and evacuated 18 crew members of a merchant vessel operating in the northern Arabian Sea after a distress call.
