The Indian and Chinese navies rescued a merchant ship in the Gulf of Aden after the vessel was hijacked by pirates.

OS 35, a bulk carrier,  was attacked by pirates last night and the Indian Navy deployed two warships after getting a distress call from the hijacked ship.

The Chinese Navy also came to the help of the ship while the Indian Navy provided air cover. The PLA deployed 18 of its personnel to sanitise the ship, a senior navy official said here.
