The Indian Navy has started a search and rescue operation to save the Iranian frigate IRIS Dena which sank in the Indian Ocean. According to a Navy statement, the distress message from IRIS Dena was received by the Colombo-based Maritime Rescue Coordination Center (MRCC) on the morning of March 4, after which the operation was launched. America has attacked Iranian warship with submarine.
The Iranian frigate is 20 nautical miles west of Galle, which falls under Sri Lanka’s search and rescue zone. As soon as the information was received, the Indian Navy immediately started the rescue operation.
Indian maritime patrol aircraft involved in operation
According to the Navy, a long range maritime patrol aircraft has been deployed at 10 am on March 4 to assist the search operations already underway under Sri Lanka and a second aircraft has been kept on standby to deal with any emergency. The training ship INS Tarangini, deployed in the nearby area, received orders for assistance and reached the search area by 4 pm the same day.
Survey ship INS Ikshak also left Kochi to support the operation. The ship is still searching for missing people and acting as humanitarian aid to those trapped in the shipwreck
America had attacked
Officials of the Indian Navy and Sri Lanka are working in mutual coordination. The incident occurred on March 4 when a US submarine targeted an Iranian frigate with torpedoes in international waters about 40 nautical miles off Galle, off the southern coast of Sri Lanka. The ship sent a distress message in the morning informing about the explosion, but it had sunk before Sri Lankan rescue ships could reach the spot. The attack took place about an hour away from the main naval base of Galle.

US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth confirmed the action at the Pentagon, calling it a quiet death achieved by torpedoes. He said that this is an important expansion of the operations started by the joint attack on Iran by America and Israel.
